TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Natalie D. says, “I appreciated having this resource to help students review and re-review important concepts in the English classroom. It worked well to both introduce review concepts at the beginning of the year, and return to important concepts as we continued to work through the year and the resource. It is an in-depth review, but also manageable for students since the work is all done on one page. There is a lot of flexibility to the resource as well since the powerpoint with the answers is editable, so you can remove the answer slides, and go through the powerpoint when first assigning a page, and then again when you correct.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jody K. says, “Again, another quality lesson from The Daring English Teacher. I loved this because I could use it as a bell ringer. I could choose which type of words I wanted to use when so they best fit what I was teaching at that time. Easy to access and ready to go. No extra work tweaking. I am glad I purchased this.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nicole C. says, The fact that this is broken up by topic is WONDERFUL! I am able to cater vocabulary to what we are working on in class whether that be Research Writing, Fiction, Non-Fiction, etc. These activities make for a great bell ringer while attendance is being taken and to get kids to start thinking about the days objectives.
