🗨️ WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING
Reviews from verified TPT purchasers ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve now purchased all six units for my ML students and would gladly purchase more should you ever decide to create more. I teach fifth grade and have three newcomers this year who have loved using these workbooks (as well as the word sort cards) to practice new vocabulary!
These vocabulary books are amazing for my newcomers! They love working on them and they have grown so much because of them!
I love this resource for my newcomers! It has worked so well, I went back and got all the units. The pictures are great and the simple activities included keep my students engaged.
