TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Taylor said, “This was a great resource! I went over the “notes” portion the day before I was absent, and I left the reading/answering portion for my students to complete when they had a sub. It was a great way for them to perform a close read and give evidence to support their answers.”
