The graphic organizers that support the writing... top notch. My kids were writing paragraphs with openings and closings WEEK ONE. I send home the reading practice for homework. I was dumbfounded when my ELS kids... still in early reading behaviors... touched and read the passages top to bottom. Worth EVERY penny. I wish I had bundled!" -Suzan Sudlow "First off, thank you for being such an inspirational speaker at the K-1 conference!
