What educators are saying

I love these stories, mostly because they focus on skills that they already know and have opinions and they can have conversations about it, and write a good paper based on the evidence.

Rated 5 out of 5
The paired passages allowed me to model writing, practice writing together then assign an independent writing assignment. Thank you
