Wow. I could not not agree more with all these positive comments people have posted on this wonderful website. I do thank whoever created such a great resource for teaching. I have been exploring and using the worksheets. Not only do I but also my students have found them pretty useful and meaningful. Best wishes. and Keep up the wonderful work.

Thank you so much for your material. This has been a lifesaver! I wish to improve my students’ reading skills and you have been helping so much!

Priscilla Araba Hagan

Awesome. This has become my go-to site for testing my students’ reading comprehension. Keep it up!

I love your website my kids benefit so much from everything you do! THANK YOU!!

Priscilla Hagan

This has been a great find. I love the stories and so do my students. I have particularly found the nondiction passages wonderful – the ones which appear in their reading books are often bland and not engaging – and so do my students. They’re learning so much and it’s stirring their curiosity to do their digging about the topics they most enjoy.

Since comprehension questions in our part of the world are not mcqs – they are usuallyquestions which require short answers – I usually dowload the passages and prepare my own questions, with maybe one or two mcqs from your question bank thrown in. Thus, my students cannot find answers and it makes them do the hard work of comprehending the passages.

I also underline some of the words and phrases and ask them to find words or phrases which mean the same and can replace them in the passage – that’s another important component of questions asked on reading comprehension passages in my part of the world, Ghana. Maybe those complaining about cheaters can use some of these strategies. They can also tweak the questions on this site to do away with cheating.

Mr. Morton, you’re amazing. Love, love this site. My students and I are the better for it.

Ayana Sanchez

Hello from Panama, this website has proven so helpful to help my students study for the TOEFL

Keshia Cabriole

Good Morning may we use the Redwoods and Arm Races Story for our study? I would like to say that the story and questionnaire will be a big help if you allow us to use your story to our study.

Of course. Best wishes!

Greetings from Egypt….I’ve been using this site for the past 3 years, and it never failed to impress me and my students. It’s very resourceful and I use it on daily basis. Wherever the owner of this site is, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You are so welcome! Thank you for using my site.

Honestly, I am writing this short message from the far lower corner of Africa,all the way from Namibia. Coming across this website has just proven to me that truly good people still exist in this world,as opposed to my traditional name which means “Good people are extinct.” I am so grateful to the person who shared all this helpful and precious information. May God continue to fill your heart and life with gifts overflowing upto an eternal fold. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. I appreciate the kind words and hearing your story. I wish you the greatest possible success in all your endeavors.

Thank you so much for this. I am a 5/6 grader and I think my teachers will enjoy this too. I use this also over the summer so I can keep track of my smartness 🙂

Your website has been very helpful. I really appreciate all the material and worksheets you have available for free. Thank you!

Whoever you are behind this resource, know that you are a good person and I am grateful for making such superb materials available to us. I am in Ghana, West Africa. You’ve made life a lot easier. Do you have a button to which those who wish to make a small number of donations can go?

Malik Radwan

These comprehensions were really helpful in studying It would be great if you would add poetry comprehensions too (the ones that ask for literary elements) Really thank you.

Do you mean poems with questions like these ?

Jornalyn N. Agapito

Thank you so much for this reading material. It was great help to my students to develop love in reading.

You’re such an amazing person! Thank you for sharing these materials. They helped me a lot as an ELA middle school teacher. May God bless you!

Excellent passages

I am looking for material for a 10-12 reading comprehension class. Your materials are great, but a lower interest level from HS students. Any suggestions for upper levels?

Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful worksheets!

JHANNET VELÁSQUEZ

EXCELLENT WEBSITE!

Excellent and the really valuable resource.

Delores J. Mayes

My students has searched and found the answer keys to these readings. I wish there was a way the teacher’s could sign in for the content and keep the cheaters from having the honest kids miss out on these readings. What has our world gone to. This is so sad that my students would copy answers word for word and expect to get a 100% as well as their parents. We are growing a nation of untruth and cheaters.

Yeah, that is pretty frustrating.

It’s tough to keep the content free and open while preventing students from finding the answers.

One thing that might help is downloading the .RTF file and editing the titles of the assignments. A persistent student will still be able to find the answers, but that may make it a little harder.

Also, remember, cheaters are only cheating themselves! And the system and everyone else too, but mainly themselves! Best wishes!

Hi Ma’am Dolores. That happened to me years ago during the MDL (modular distance learning) in our country, Philippines. You know what I did, I shorten my URLs and add number 1 at the end of it. This way, they can no longer trace my resources.

Alexandra Bardon

Thank you Mr. Morton for sharing! Your material is just what we need to keep students busy during lockdown. I really appreciate it. K. Bardon

literacy homework sheets

I create homework sheets to go along with the braille reading homework I send home. The print sheet has both print and braille symbols on it so that if my student gets hung up reading the braille, the sheet can help the parent with identifying the braille symbol.  This particular example is from APH’s Building on Patterns Kindergarten Level , but similar review sheets can be made for students at any level.

The comment page is so that the parent can write notes about the homework back to me. This is very empowering for the parents and I get GREAT feedback from them. The comments improve over time from “doing great” to “reading more fluidly now” or “self corrected the underlined words in this line”.

  • braille review worksheets
  • print copy of braille worksheets
  • Create review worksheets in braille to send home with your student for homework.
  • Creat a print copy for the parents or other family members to use along with the student.

Any type of review sheet can be sent home for homework!  Students reading large print, or young students who are practicing finding a particular letter or contraction can be sent home.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

This fact sheet highlights the issue of adult literacy in the United States, where more than 48 million adults lack basic reading, writing, and math skills beyond a third-grade level.

Only a small percentage of those in need receive services, and many programs have waiting lists due to high demand.

Low literacy levels are associated with lower earnings and increased health care costs. The importance of education in reducing incarceration rates and improving children’s academic success is emphasized.

The fact sheet also touches upon challenges faced by immigrants.

OpenAI’s new Sora model can generate minute-long videos from text prompts

It won't be available for the general public until its potential for misuse has been assessed..

OpenAI on Thursday announced Sora, a brand new model that generates high-definition videos up to one minute in length from text prompts. Sora, which means “sky” in Japanese, won’t be available to the general public any time soon. Instead, OpenAI is making it available to a small group of academics and researchers who will assess harm and its potential for misuse.

“Sora is able to generate complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background,” the company said on its website . “The model understands not only what the user has asked for in the prompt, but also how those things exist in the physical world.”

One of the videos generated by Sora that OpenAI shared on its website shows a couple walking through a snowy Tokyo city as cherry blossom petals and snowflakes blow around them.

Introducing Sora, our text-to-video model. Sora can create videos of up to 60 seconds featuring highly detailed scenes, complex camera motion, and multiple characters with vibrant emotions. https://t.co/7j2JN27M3W Prompt: “Beautiful, snowy… pic.twitter.com/ruTEWn87vf — OpenAI (@OpenAI) February 15, 2024

Another shows realistic-looking wooly mammoths walking through a snowy meadow against a backdrop of snow-clad mountain ranges.

Prompt: “Several giant wooly mammoths approach treading through a snowy meadow, their long wooly fur lightly blows in the wind as they walk, snow covered trees and dramatic snow capped mountains in the distance, mid afternoon light with wispy clouds and a sun high in the distance… pic.twitter.com/Um5CWI18nS — OpenAI (@OpenAI) February 15, 2024

OpenAI says that the model works as a result of “deep understanding of language,” which lets it interpret text prompts accurately. Still, like basically all AI image- and video-generators we’ve seen, Sora isn’t perfect. In one of the examples, the prompt, which asks for a video of a Dalmatian looking through a window and people “walking and cycling along the canal streets,” omits the people and the streets in the video entirely. OpenAI also warns that the model can struggle to understand cause and effect — it can generate a video of a person eating a cookie, for instance, but the cookie may not have bite marks.

Sora isn’t the first text-to-video model around. Other companies including Meta , Google and Runway , have either teased text-to-video tools or made them available to the public. Still, no other tool is currently able to generate videos as long as 60 seconds. Sora also generates entire videos at once, instead of putting them together frame-by-frame like other models, which makes sure that subjects in the video stay the same even when they go out of view temporarily.

The rise of text-to-video tools has sparked concerns over their potential to more easily create realistic-looking fake footage. “I am absolutely terrified that this kind of thing will sway a narrowly contested election,” Oren Etzioni, a professor at the University of Washington who specializes in artificial intelligence, and the founder of True Media, an organization that works to identify disinformation in political campaigns, told The New York Times . And generative AI more broadly has sparked backlash from artists and creative professionals concerned about the technology being used to replace jobs.

OpenAI said that it was working with experts in areas like misinformation, hateful content and bias to test the tool before making it available to the public. The company is also building tools capable of detecting videos generated by Sora and including metadata in the generated videos for easier detection. The company declined to tell the Times how Sora had been trained, except stating that it used both “publicly available videos” as well as videos licensed from copyright holders.

California-size Antarctic ice sheet once thought stable may actually be at tipping point for collapse

Researchers have discovered the base of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin, which holds enough ice to raise sea levels by as much as 10 feet, may already be partially thawed.

A photo of Cape Adare located west of the Wilkes Basin in East Antarctica.

A gigantic ice sheet that was thought to be stable may be much closer to runaway melt than anyone realized, a new study has revealed.

The Wilkes Subglacial Basin — a California-size ice sheet in East Antarctica that holds enough ice to lift global sea levels by 10 feet (3 meters) — could be close to thawing at its base. 

The discovery was made by scientists using radar surveys from planes flying over the sheet to peek at the ice underneath. If small temperature increases continue to accumulate beneath the sheet, the front edge could become unstuck and collapse. The researchers published their findings Jan. 19 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters .

Related: City-sized holes on Antarctica's ice shelves offer tantalizing 'window' into the frozen continent's underworld

"There hasn't been much analysis in this region — there's a huge volume of ice there, but it has been relatively stable," first author Eliza Dawson , a doctoral student in geophysics at Stanford University, said in a statement . "We're looking at the temperature at the base of the ice sheet for the first time and how close it is to potentially melting."

The Wilkes Subglacial Basin is a broad, down-sloping basin that extends 870 miles (1,400 kilometers) inland and contains ice that is 1.9 miles (3 km) thick. Emptying into the Southern Ocean through a handful of ice shelves and glaciers, the basin's ice sheet sits below sea level at its bottom, making the undersides of its glaciers susceptible to melting from inflows of warming seawater.

Scientists have long assumed that East Antarctica's ice is relatively stable (even gaining mass overall as of 2012) and had instead focused on studying West Antarctica's dramatically calving glaciers .

However, recent research has suggested that the 10 million-square-mile (27 million square kilometers) East Antarctic Ice Sheet underwent significant melting and retreat during previous warming periods, raising the possibility that the slumbering giant could awaken once more.

"This area has conditions that we could imagine changing," co-author Dustin Schroeder , an associate professor of geophysics at Stanford University, said in the statement. "And if warm ocean water gets there, it's going to 'turn on' a whole sector of Antarctica we don't normally think about as a contributor to sea level rise ."

To investigate what could be going on beneath the sheet, the researchers collected data using radar surveys from planes that flew over it. As water is more reflective than bedrock, radio waves fired at thawed beds beneath ice sheets are reflected more than those that have remained frozen.

— Zoom through a 'spectacular' chain of ancient underwater volcanoes on Antarctic ocean floor

— Collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is 'unavoidable,' study finds

— 'Ghost' of ancient river-carved landscape discovered beneath Antarctica

By analyzing the tangle of reflected radio signals before comparing them with others taken on the ground, the researchers were able to weave them into a map of the subglacial melt across thousands of miles of the basin's southern coastline.

They made an alarming discovery: There were large patches of thawed and frozen ground under the ice sheet, but most of the area could not be defined as either.

This could suggest that something about the ice sheet's geometry has shifted, or that there are complications in the data. Much more troublingly, it could also mean that most of the ground beneath the sheet is already semithawed, potentially moving it closer to a tipping point if temperatures at the base of the ice sheet increase.

"This suggests that glacial retreat could be possible in the future," Dawson said. "This part of East Antarctica has been largely overlooked, but we need to understand how it could evolve and become more unstable. What would need to happen to start seeing mass loss?"

DAYTONA, Fla. -- Your attention please, my friends and readers who are hard-core NFL devotees and are still in recovery from last weekend. You know who I'm talking about. The folks who wear their favorite QB's jersey all season, hunkered down in the recliner every Sunday with eye black smeared onto their face and a pair of 25-year-old underwear on, because that's what they had on when their team won that one big game back that one time so many years ago. Last weekend they spent football's biggest day answering an endless flurry of queries from relatives who hadn't watched a down all fall, if ever, like, "Hey, that yellow handkerchief that guy keeps throwing on the field, what does that mean?"

Well, that's exactly what we lifelong NASCAR fans will be subjected to Sunday when the Daytona 500 roars beneath the green flag to begin its 66th edition. It's the Super Bowl of stock car racing, only it takes places at the beginning of the season instead as the grand finale. With February snow on the ground, no football to watch and the lure of the sheer over-the-top, turned-up-to-11 spectacle of it all, Daytona inevitably draws the eyeballs of millions of folks who watch NASCAR only once a year. Asking stuff of their obviously locked-in friends like, "Hey, that yellow flag that guy keeps waving over the racetrack, what does that mean?"

It is with that struggle in mind that we present our annual act of service for both sides of the stock car racing coin. A Daytona 500 cheat sheet that NASCAR newbies can memorize to impress that one friend with the "Raise Hell Praise Dale" tattoo, and also something that said Earnhardt follower can print and hand to their lost pal like a 200 mph FAQ.

You're welcome, America. Enjoy the Great American Race.

Five favorites to win the Daytona 500

During the latest episode of his always entertaining (sometimes too entertaining for NASCAR brass) "Actions Detrimental" podcast, Denny Hamlin was asked for his pick to win the Daytona 500. He replied: "I'm not saying me. I know I'm going to win." Cocky? Yes, always, but his Daytona confidence is well-founded. After all, he is a three-time winner of NASCAR's biggest race, one of only six drivers to win three or more, and the other five on that list are already in the NASCAR Hall of Fame. If he wins again, he'll move into a tie for second with Cale Yarborough, trailing only Richard Petty's seven victories. Hamlin's confidence is also well backed. Every single major handicapper has the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 11 installed as the favorite.

So, who is showing up as their second-best pick to click? The guy Hamlin mentioned on that same podcast. "If I don't [win], I have a bold prediction: Kyle Busch wins his first Daytona 500."

I strolled the Daytona garage Thursday evening asking for favorites from those who will be competing Sunday. The names mentioned most were Hamlin and Busch; defending Cup Series champ Ryan Blaney , who has finished second in this race twice and was eighth one year ago; Blaney's Penske teammate Joey Logano , who won the 2015 Daytona 500 and will start first Sunday (although that might be a bad thing, more on that later); and their former teammate-turned-driver/owner Brad Keselowski . All three of those would-be favorites drive Fords. That's not a coincidence.

The next five to keep an eye on

Kyle Larson is widely regarded as perhaps the fastest of the fast these days. In the past three seasons, he has won 17 races (that's a lot), as well as a Cup Series title in 2021 and a runner-up finish behind Blaney last fall. For what it's worth, he doesn't buy into that pre-Daytona hype and points to his career Daytona 500 numbers, with a paltry two top-10s and zero top-5s in 10 tries. But still, his rivals and the wiseguys have him on their short lists and he was the strongest car in his Duel 150 on Thursday night before surrendering the lead late in the race.

Riding door-to-door with Larson in that second group is fellow 2023 title contender William Byron , who won a series-best six races one year ago and finished eighth at Daytona in the 400-mile August race. Who won that race? Chris Buescher , earning his first career victory, but he also finished fourth in last year's Daytona 500, his third top-5 in the big race.

Another 500 favorite, according to the odds and the paddock chatter, is Byron and Larson's Hendrick Motorsport teammate Chase Elliott , son of two-time Daytona 500 winner Bill Elliott. The issue is that the perpetual fan-voted Most Popular Driver is suffering a bit of confidence crisis after a 2023 season in which he missed multiple races, earned zero wins and failed to make the postseason cut.

Finally, the last of our second five-pack is Bubba Wallace . The driver of the 23XI Racing No. 23 has made six Daytona 500 starts and finished second twice; he was a contender one year ago before a late crash; and the first of his two career Cup Series wins came at Daytona's cousin racetrack, Talladega Superspeedway, in 2021.

Five Daytona dark horses

OK, you really want to impress your racing-obsessed friends? When someone mentions a dark horse, reply, "Actually, there are 16 Dark Horses in the field because of the new Fords." It's true. Ford has rolled out a brand-new style of its race car for 2024 and nicknamed it the Dark Horse Mustang.

When it comes to actual, could-they-win long shot picks, though, keep your eyes on Tyler Reddick , who started way back in 19th in Thursday night's first Duel 150 and diced his way past Larson to seize the win (no doubt making 23XI bosses Hamlin and Michael Jordan very happy). He was followed closely by wunderkind Carson Hocevar , who just turned 20 a few weeks ago -- and was racing in the Truck series one year ago -- but finished fourth in his qualifying race.

Austin Dillon will start the race 33rd but has won at Daytona twice, including the 2018 Daytona 500 (and he drives Dale Earnhardt's legendary No. 3 car). Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has always been smooth at superspeedways and is the defending race champion.

Michael McDowell also shocked the world by winning the 2021 Daytona 500. He looked like the strongest car in his Duel before wisely getting out of the fray, because after qualifying second on Wednesday night, he will start on the front row alongside Logano.

And finally, a bonus pick: Martin Truex Jr. , who has never been great at Daytona -- three top-5 finishes in 37 Daytona oval starts -- but, like Busch, has sentiment on his side. What does that mean? Keep reading.

Five legends who have somehow never won the Daytona 500

Truex: 34 career wins; 0-for-19 in Daytona 500; best finish: 2nd, 2016 Busch: 63 career wins; 0-for-18 in Daytona 500; best finish: 2nd, 2019 Keselowski: 35 career wins; 0-for-14 in Daytona 500; best finish: 3rd, 2014 Larson: 23 career wins; 0-for-10 in Daytona 500; best finish: 7th, 2016 and 2019 Elliott: 18 career wins; 0-for-8 in Daytona 500; best finish: 2nd, 2021

Everyone you see listed above will have a Lightning Lane to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, but unless they figure out how to win the sport's most prestigious event, they will also look at the stats on their plaque and go "Damn it!"

To Hamlin's point with his pick, Busch especially is overdue, having checked off every accomplishment possible except for winning this race. Last year he was in the lead at the end of 500 miles, but a late caution sent the event into overtime, where he wrecked and finished 19th after getting caught up in the crash we call the Big One. Actually, it was the fourth Big One, but it got him.

We write this every year because every year it remains true: These frustrated greats are in great Daytona 500 company. Terry Labonte was 0-for-32, Ricky Rudd was 0-for-29 and Mark Martin was 0-for-29, while Bobby Labonte, Rusty Wallace and Tony Stewart ended their careers a combined 0-for-64.

Wait, Jimmie Johnson is in the Daytona 500?

Speaking of racers in the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Johnson was inducted into the Hall just one month ago. So, that means he's retired, right? No. Not in this world.

Yes, he is retired from full-time driving, but he has moved into full-time team ownership, his second season at the helm of what used to be Richard Petty's team, now known as Legacy Motor Club. This will be the first of nine planned races for the two-time Daytona 500 winner and his first in a ride other than a Chevy as Legacy MC has switched to Toyotas this year in the hopes that it will be higher up the priority ladder of that manufacturer's much less crowded roster of teams.

On Thursday night, he nearly literally drove the wheels off that Toyota as he fought to make the field for the race with no safety net of points or provisionals like the ones he enjoyed during his unparalleled career with Hendrick Motorsports, holding off old pal J.J. Yeley in a two-car fight for the final starting spot from their Duel 150.

"I have never felt pressure like that," Johnson confessed Thursday, explaining his still-new world view as a team owner. "I was literally driving down the backstretch thinking about the people I was letting down. 'I'm going to miss the Daytona 500, and I'm going to have to be shaking hands and visiting with people while the race is going on?'" He won't. But man, it was close.

Five things you can shout out to make you seem really dialed in to Daytona

• "It's the Petty family's 75th anniversary in NASCAR!" Speaking of Richard Petty, last year NASCAR celebrated its 75th anniversary, and now it's Petty's turn. The Petty family, led by Richard and his son/racer/TV analyst Kyle, will spend this whole year commemorating their 75th year in NASCAR, a relationship that began in the very first race of what we now know as the Cup Series, a dirt track date in Charlotte when 11-year-old Richard sat in the grandstands and watched his father, Lee, wreck the car he had borrowed from a neighbor . A decade later, Lee won the inaugural Daytona 500, and Richard went on to add a record seven trophies.

From Petty Enterprises to Richard Petty Motorsports to Legacy MC, The King has been a mainstay in the NASCAR garage. Now he will be celebrated as he should be, at racetracks all season long via massive sculptures of his legendary cowboy hat, adorned with Petty family moments at each track.

From looking up to the Pettys, to having them as part of my journey. Proud to celebrate #Petty75 . pic.twitter.com/fzOzxPdBQk — Erik Jones (@Erik_Jones) February 15, 2024

• "That's awesome that Joey Logano won the pole position. It's a shame he probably won't win the race." This one will likely make your in-the-know NASCAR friends scoff and roll their eyes. After all, as we told you earlier, Logano is a future first-ballot NASCAR Hall of Famer who has won 32 races, including the 2015 Daytona 500.

Once he topped pole qualifying Wednesday night, though, history was immediately against him. The last time the No. 1 starter also wound up the No. 1 finisher was Dale Jarrett ... in 2000! Logano was 9 years old.

• "Only 10 laps to go? There's about to be a giant crash. Trust me." Remember when we mentioned those four Big Ones in last year's Daytona 500? Well, three of them happened with under 17 laps remaining in the race and the last two were unleashed in OT.

In the past eight Daytona 500s, there have been four last-lap passes for the lead. Before that, there had been only nine in 57 events. And over the past seven 500s, an average of 31 cars have been involved in crashes, including 30 one year ago. There are only 40 cars in the race. So, yeah, don't stop watching just because you think the race is nearly over, because chances are it isn't.

• "Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?!" Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be in the house for the Daytona 500. I intend to remind him that seven years ago John Cena drove the pace car and had what is considered the most entertaining celebrity prerace news conference ever seen at Daytona. Then we'll see what happens.

This year's honorary pace car driver is newly crowned Miss America Madison Marsh, who is also an active duty Air Force lieutenant, and the grand marshal is DJ Khaled. If we do indeed have all those crashes at the end, someone absolutely has to give him a microphone and let him keep saying, "Another one!"

I'm thrilled that Dwayne Johnson will be at the #DAYTONA500 . But...will my friend @JamieLittleTV smack The Rock in the face with her ponytail like she did to @JohnCena in 2016? pic.twitter.com/GGasvfqcKl — Ryan McGee (@ESPNMcGee) February 16, 2024

• "Did you know that one driver in this race is actually a Jedi?" No, it's not Kaz Grala , who will start 26th and has a name that totally sounds like he learned how to race from Yoda and Mace Windu. It's Blaney, who, on Thursday night walked away from a Mustafar-type situation as his Ford caught fire, then on Friday dropped in our official ESPN Star Wars podcast "Never Tell Me the Odds" to talk to me, Clinton Yates and Arda Öcal about his lifelong obsession with all things in a galaxy far, far away.

You can listen to it here . It's worth downloading just to hear him tell the story of the time he met Daisy Ridley, aka Rey, when he was younger and very single and totally choked.

NCAA March Madness Men's Bracket Preview 2024: How to watch show on CBS, live stream, watch online, channel

We'll get a look saturday at how the 2024 ncaa tournament bracket is shaping up.

usatsi-17918451-1.jpg

College basketball fans across the nation have been waiting, but can get their annual early look at how the 2024 NCAA Tournament bracket is coming together on the NCAA March Madness Men's Bracket Preview show Saturday on CBS . With just over four weeks until Selection Sunday, the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee will reveal the current top 16 seeds on the 30-minute show, set for 12:30 p.m. ET before No. 3 Houston hosts Texas at 1 p.m. on CBS.

Committee chair Charles McClelland will be in-studio for the reveal, as will the broadcast team of Adam Zucker, Clark Kellogg, Jay Wright and Seth Davis. The show will list the top four seeds in each region as things stand entering Saturday's action. The committee first began previewing the bracket's top 16 teams in 2017, and it has become an annual tradition that provides an advance look at how the bracket is coming together.

Plenty of time remains for teams to rise or fall before the full 68-team field is announced on Sunday, March 17 on CBS. But Saturday's preview will offer some clues about how the selection committee views certain teams. Among the most intriguing revelations will be who the committee includes as its fourth No. 1 seed. UConn, Purdue and Houston each have easy cases to be No. 1 seeds, but there is a deep group of teams jockeying for the fourth and final No. 1 seed.

Entering the show, CBS Sports Bracketology expert Jerry Palm projects Arizona to be the fourth No. 1. Palm will be part of extended coverage when the bracket preview show transitions to CBS Sports Network at 1 p.m for deeper discussion of the rest of the bracket.

How to watch the NCAA March Madness Men's Bracket Preview

Date : Saturday, Feb. 17 |  Time : 12:30 p.m. ET TV : CBS |  Streaming on   Paramount+ with Showtime  (Try It Free)   Extended TV coverage: CBS Sports Network , 1 p.m. ET
