Met expectations
Great value
My students struggle with the different types of genres. Not only did I use these for instruction, but I was able to keep them as a resource, so when students were not sure, they could go back. The pictures and graphics were great for middle school students.

I loved using these resources to teach and review genres with my 4th and 5th-grade students at the beginning of the school year. It was a great resource to use to help students understand what types of books we have. Helps us have a common language when talking about reading.
