What educators are saying

I very much enjoyed using this resource with my son whom I homeschool. Ronald Dahl books are always fun and this resource was great to have for comprehension and other ELA concepts.
This is an excellent resource. It comes with vocabulary and comprehension questions for every chapter. I also enjoy the bonus material for the end of the book. I will be back for more purchases on other novels!
