What educators are saying

This is a great resource to use monthly in my ESL class. The monthly themes help students learn about holidays while building reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.
I love these ESL reading passages. They are exposed to new vocabulary while learning how to analyze a reading passage. We mostly do these passages together due to the language and lack of vocabulary and comprehension with my students. But overall they are great!
