I thought it would be more organizing guided reading groups but it was very good in helping me to know what to do in the guided reading group.
Martha – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
Teacher editions don’t necessarily give the teacher the hight level questions needed to target a passage. She gave us great input as to what is a teacher’s dialogue when having guided reading
Elizabeth – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
