What educators are saying

This resource was a life saver for our 6th grade Humanities Class! It helped to seamlessly integrate social studies and ELA. It also helped to easily differentiate by reading levels while still keeping the same content.
The hard work has been done for me! This bundle has so many options available to use for students reading at different reading levels. This was a great resource to add to my 6th grade social studies program.
