"The lessons provided writing practice in approachable, manageable ways, allowing my students to break down the writing process into understandable chunks."
- Rachael McCain, Kindergarten Teacher, LA
"Some of my newcomers could write a few sentences after completing several lessons. That was amazing and impressive!"
- Meichu Huang, K-5 ESOL Teacher, West Side Elementary, GA
"The breakdown and graphics provided were awesome in helping all my students, especially those who are struggling, below grade level, and my ELL learners!"
- Neisha Bruce, Grade 2 Teacher, Parkway Elementary School, NJ
"After using the journals, my students’ final writing pieces used better word choice and more details than in the past. Thanks to the pre-writing activities, they were more confident in the topics, wrote more, and used a variety of words in their pieces."
- Neisha Bruce, Grade 2 Teacher, Parkway Elementary School, NJ
"The graphic organizers created an easy transition for moving from notes into complete sentences. Since they progressed in more manageable phases, this led to an overall stronger writing performance."
- Natalie, K-12 ESOL Teacher, NH
