Your powerpoint on Reference resources is awesome. Where can I find the cards for the students to sort. I would be willing to pay for them.
Thanks,

Hi April. I rated your item full stars. I love it! I am also a follower now!!

Just 1 suggestion for the words you use as an example: italize or put in different color - more visible and easily identified.

Thanks for following me and rating my product. Good luck!!!
