HERE'S WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

Extremely satisfied

''This ELA bundle is worth every penny! I think it would be great with 4th-HS. I am a virtual and in-class gifted 6-8th grade ELA teacher this year. The students love the videos and assignments!! I am stress-free, because every lesson is planned for the entire year and I use them with both virtually and in-class. I have purchased many TPT resources over the years, but this one by far has made my job easier! The author, also, took the time to email me and speak with me on Facetime to answer my questions :)''
