My students loved reading Esperanza Rising, and this resource was an excellent support for keeping them engaged throughout each chapter. The activities helped maintain student interest and encouraged meaningful discussions about the story. The comprehension questions were especially helpful, as they guided students to think deeply about the characters, themes, and important events while checking for understanding. Overall, this was a valuable resource that enhanced student learning and made the reading experience more interactive and enjoyable.
