What educators are saying

Great resource to have before (or right after) Thanksgiving break. My students struggle with informational/history based text, and it's nice to find resources that discuss things they are familiar with already. It actually keeps them interested!
Though this was a little tough for my special education students, they enjoyed it. I did have to modify some of the questions, but it was not hard to do. My students learned some new facts about Thanksgiving! I would recommend it!
