3. “Another great item from this store. I love that digital is included so I can mix and match easily.  Very straightforward and easy to follow without being too simplistic.  The learning is challenging and thorough but accessible for my lower learners using the MP3s included for reading passages etc. There are lots of activities to choose from, so I can easily pic and choose what will work for my students.  I love that all the suggested videos etc are linked so I can just pick up and know what I'm teaching quickly. I own all the science units now and they have made it so easy to teach!”
