TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Jessica F: I am in a new position at a new school this year. I work with 5th and 6th graders and I was told the former have done this novel study in the past and that I would be able to do it this year. I had never heard of the book and had no resources to go along with it. I did a quick TpT search for a novel tie-in for Small Steps and this was the first hit I got so I went with it. I am SO glad I did! I absolutely LOVE this guide and so do my students. My reading group is not primarily focused on comprehension so I don't have much time to devote to a novel study and I really appreciate how quickly I can get through the comprehension guides that go along with each chapter. Even though they are short, they are super effective and engaging. I also love the end of novel project ideas. We are almost done with the book and I am totally buying more of these guides in the future. I may even have to plan my novel study choices based on what novel tie-ins Wise Guys have available, lol!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Sara B: I started book clubs with my students and needed independent work for them to do on Small Steps. I did not expect to get such a masterpiece. It's varied and interesting and on a high standard. My students appreciated the pictures that enhanced the booklet and made the story more real to them. I found the questions thought-provoking as well. Thank you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Gina S: I really like the way Wise Guys put their novel unit studies together. They cover the important facets of the stories and give different ways to think about them.
