I can not speak highly enough about this resource. I'm a first year teacher and struggle with layering in all of the elements my students need. This tool is perfect! I happened to use it while the vice principal was observing me and it made me look so competent! Thank you!!!

Take a look at what teachers like you are saying:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was a great accompaniment to the curriculum for my students. It was nice to switch things up and cover a story in a different way than I usually do. It also gave me some great ideas for the future! (Jennifer W.)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This is usually one of the first short stories we cover because it is not intimidating like most freshman pieces are. I knew the kids needed to work on multiple skills after being out of the classroom for so long. This fit the bill perfectly. Very pleased with the results.  (Theresa S .)
