Very precise
A very precise pack that has been well constructed making it easy to implement in the classroom.
Time saver for reading groups
What a great resource to have on hand for all my high ability novel studies and tying in depth and complexity
Life Saver!
This resource has dramatically changed my son's attitude toward grammar/writing. I've tried at least four different approaches when it comes to grammar, NONE of them have stuck like this! He's got a few learning disabilities so finding something that actually works for him is a huge win. The lessons are straightforward, nothing is over (or under) explained. It's completely digestible for the learner, and easy to implement for the instructor. I pair it with The English Grammar Workbook by Shelly Rees, and they pair wonderfully together. I've already purchased the year long bundle; we're so excited to dive into it!
Great Daily Practice!
This has been great for my fourth graders to get continued practice on skills.
Always my favorite way to take notes
The kids love it. Had these for 5th graders and it was a must purchase for 4th

Do you have a nonfiction task card set for ELA?
Only the science and social studies included in this bundle.
Is there any chance you have some for math? Or more examples of how to use the thinking mats for math?
Hi Amber! Sorry, but I don't have these for math.
In the preview, the samples include the depth and complexity icons. Will these still be included in my purchase?
Hi Tonie! Sorry for the confusion. That preview was old and I have removed it. This version does not come with icons.
Are there task cards for 1st grade?
Unfortunately, I only have them for upper grades and beyond.
