What Are Teachers Saying About This Grammar Program?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a really great way of making sure students don't groan when it's time for Grammar! Students really look forward to the challenges and it makes it much easier to gain the engagement needed for the concepts!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My teens LOVE your ELA creations and I have to admit I love them too! They are easy print and go, I can check your answer key to make sure I don't miss anything and more importantly to me, my kids are willing to do your worksheets without eyerolling or whining...thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have LOVED this grammar bundle! Not only does it help teach students how to correct commonly made errors but it also makes it fun and challenging for the students! I will say, that I thought these would be quick little activities for my grade 8s to work on but instead they typically need a full class period. Now I've worked a weekly grammar lesson into my plans.
