Customer Testimonials
"The document is very well written and organized for teacher's use. On the student side, the activities are interesting and engaging. The level of thinking is such that it will challenge them without making them feel as if this is above their level. The cooperative nature of the activities will help build vocabulary and confidence which are two skills lacking in many of our students, especially with our high ELL population."
