- Fantastic resource for Island of the Blue Dolphins. Saved me so much time! - Sharilyn M.
- I already purchased Anne Frank last year and knew I'd get more for this school year. Not disappointed at all. Grammar, writing, reading, and more are covered. I feel the students enjoy a break from using their textbooks to use this instead. - Pearl J.
- My students found this resource engaging. It brought in literary concepts like point of view, shades of meaning, etc. while having them practice summarizing the text and answering comprehension questions. - James W.
- I love using real books with my students in the classroom. I find that reading real books is more engaging and they learn more from the experience than using basal readers. The Simply Novel book studies are wonderful and I've used them for years. - Lindsey H.
- Loved the flexibility and organization of the unit. Could easily upload for distance learning or run off copies for in-person learning. - Ariana G.
