TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Paulette G. says, “Thank you so much for this resource. I used it over the course of two days, I spent the first day with my students going over annotations (during an observation) the following day they rewrote the prologue using their annotations and nothing else. I really think they understood the text much better because of this resource.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Olivia W. says, “Such an AWESOME resource for teaching the R&J prologue! I’ve tried others, but this has been my favorite by far.
