Excellent Practical Resource

The skill based activities are clearly explained and the checklists provided for assessing the skills make assessment and writing report cards easier as you can clearly see the growth and next steps. The "Key Phrases" for each skill are important and keeping my teaching partner and I using the same language making it easier for the students to understand our directions. Students love the activities and I love the resource! I highly recommend it!
