I use these to help build writing stamina with my 7th graders. They are enjoying them, so far and more importantly seeing an improvement in their writing.

That's great! Sometimes, we just need to work on smaller writing assignments before we jump into the bigger pieces. I'm so glad your students saw more success with these!

As an ESY Distance Learning educator and previously a 3rd Grade Special Ed inclusion teacher (next year unknown), I need resources that would both work with my diverse group and be engaging. Students will be able to work independently and with the group throughout the use of this resource. They can be focused and on task. Thanks for offering it during the sale.
