Reviews from verified TPT purchasers. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My ESL students LOVE using these speaking mats! It is a great way for my students to speak to each other (even the quiet, shy ones). This is my second year using the mats. Thank you so much for creating this supportive resource!

Very intentionally and well-designed resource to help students feel confident and develop great oral practice! Excellent product!

I have used all (or almost??) her different speaking mat activities! Very useful for a speaking evaluation! Since they are all built the same way, I don’t have to explain every time! Great!
