What educators are saying

Even as kindergarten students, my class did so well with procedural writing and this resource was a huge help! The pictures really helped so students could focus on writing the steps instead of having to come up with the steps then write about them.
This was a great resource for building our mini how-to writing unit. My students enjoyed the center type activities. The word lists were helpful as they worked to write how-tos.
