I have been using this resource to tutor one of my Special Education students who just graduated from 8th grade. I love all of the different activities, and how everything is broken up into different sections with plenty of stuff for each! As a SPED teacher especially, I do wish some things were editable so that I could change things up for different students based on their individualized needs, but I can tell a lot of care went into the creation of this novel study!
