What educators are saying

I the units in this bundle are fantastic. They clearly outline what each type of writing is how to make a good example, and my students became familiar with the format and progression of the units so they were less apprehensive, knowing what to expect.
A wonderful, easy to use and implement resource for my class. Students were actively engaged in the learning process and excited to continue their work (Especially the descriptive writing unit!) Can not recommend this enough!
