Teacher Feedback
- This is a truly impressive resource. So much more than just worksheets to go along with an article - it really is an organized system. It's going to save me SO much time!!! LOVE that it is scaffolded so I can use it throughout the entire school year, making it more challenging as my students improve (or differentiating with different students within the same class!). THANK YOU!
- "This resource forever changed the way that I approach AOW with my students. The gradual release of responsibility method has made the use of AOW with my students less stressful and more meaningful. Thank you!"
- "This resource was a great way to get students connecting the themes in class to the real world. The resource is differentiated incredibly well. This meant all of my learners were able to access the materials at a developmentally appropriate point. I would say this is a MUST-HAVE resource. Thanks for making reading assessment authentic and easy."
- "I used this for the first couple of months of the school year with my grade 8s. It helped spark many amazing class discussions and really helped me see what skills the students needed to brush up on in reading. Parents also commented on the value they saw in doing an Article of the Week. Thanks!"
- "An excellent, high quality, easy to follow resource. I have really expanded my use of non-fiction texts in my classroom because of this resource."
- "I purchased this to use at home with my son with ASD. He struggles with collecting his ideas in a way that would make sense to a reader. The graphic organizers have been an amazing resource for him."
- "This has been extremely helpful with our article of the week assignments. I love how there are differentiated assignments so that I can use a different template for each grade and even several within one grade for my IEPs. Rubrics are easy to follow for students, they love it! Thank you!!"
