What educators are saying

With the summer heat upon us, I paired this resource with a suncatcher craft and it was a big hit. Our folks enjoyed learning reading and learning through these articles. Thank you for producing them.
I use this with one of my higher level 2nd grade reading groups and I let them pick topics they were interested in. I really love the glossary that is included on the articles, it is usually what we start with and then we are on the lookout for those words while we read.
