1885 Inaugural Address from Grover Cleveland - Primary Source Comprehension

These primary source comprehension activities guide students through close reading of authentic historical texts. By working across three skill-focused tabs—Main Idea & Details, Inference, and Contextual Vocabulary—students develop a deeper understanding of the passages and strengthen essential literacy skills. The interactive tools and structured layout help readers analyze, annotate, and interpret the text with clarity and confidence.
