What educators are saying

I loved this resource! It can be challenging to find texts on the same topic for writing opinion essays using multiple sources. It was great having different topics and levels of difficulty for each passage.
Thank you for sharing. I work with students with severe emotional disorders and behaviors. Your resource was extremely helpful for me to track specific IEP goals. Thank you for making my job easier and helping me save time.
