WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS LITERATURE RESOURCE
♥ Everyone of these products are great! All standards addressed and the kids enjoy the work!
♥ Wow! I am speechless! What a great resource! This has everything! Power Points, assessments, graphic organizers, novel video, everything! Thank you so very much for your hard work! I will definitely be searching for other novel studies to purchase from you!
♥ This is a wonderful unit. It is going to make to transitioning to my maternity leave seamless, no matter if my sub gets a few days notice (as planned) or a few hours. In the mean time, the unit is comprised of great quality lessons that I will enjoy teaching myself!
♥ I love that this novel study pack had activities other than just the typical comprehension and vocabulary. The quick writes are my favorite! I bought the Bridge to Terabithia novel study from this seller and was so happy with it also. I was glad to see that there was one for NTS!
♥ This was a perfect novel study. I love that the questions not only helped my daughter review the information from the chapters, but really think about what was happening and the moral issues from the
story. Very well done!
