TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Plans and Pivots says, "This was very helpful with implementing our book club expectations and allowing for autonomy within the groups. It really cut through time that has been spent in previous years allowing students to try and determine these things without enough context, as well as outlining the individual responsibilities and expectations, thank you!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jessica J. says, "The bookmarks are a good idea for students to plot out their reading schedule and keep it in a handy place. We found it helpful to have the variety of roles, recording sheets, and group member assessment sheet (helps keep them honest)."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tara C. says, "Engaging, user friendly and very well done. Thank you for creating such wonderful resources. By far one of my most successful Lit Circles, and I can't wait to use it again. I can always count on your resources to fulfill the need in which it was purchased for."
