An excellent resource
I used this resource for my ESL. It was amazing and my students were very happy using them. Thank you very much!
used this daily for 2 years
Thank you for creating this resource! It was so engaging for my students!
Fills the Vocabulary Gap
My class has been identified as needing more work on prefixes, suffixes, and Greek/Latin roots per iReady diagnostic tests. This was a great resource to target that area. My students love it and I love the organized lessons and weekly tests. I added the Sketch notes to amplify the use of the weekly word lists. I combined the sketch notes with the workbook pages and unit tests and bound them with coil binders to make a practical workbook for them to use. They love the predictive format and I am hoping to see improvement in that are of our ELA data.
A Great Resource
This was helpful in my classes. I will surely use it again next year
