Extremely Satisfied
“I have not had a chance to use each piece of this resource as it is very large but I am happy with what I have used so far. This resource uses relevant content to engage students so they may not be fully aware that they are practicing OSSLT skills if they aren't explicitly told. I appreciate the work that has gone into the resource.” - Jade G.

“Great resource for my Ontario Literacy Course as well as my OSSLT boot camp prep that I run after school for my students who need extra support. Easy to follow lessons, broken down units, and reading/writing tasks. An entire course fully developed and the convenience of implementing if I'm absent. Thanks for sharing!” - Colleen N.
