WHAT TEACHERS SAY ABOUT THIS FIRST GRADE GRAMMAR CURRICULUM

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just completed my first whole week using this grammar curriculum and I am in love! The lessons were easy to implement and it was super clear for students too! I think this is going to make a world of a difference for my students this year! Every piece is golden – the Google slides, the anchor charts, the boom cards, the revising and editing checklist, the assessment rubric – my kids enjoyed every piece. Also, I had never used Boom cards before but these were a hit! – Cindy

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OH my goodness! I am absolutely over the moon with this purchase. ELA Skill Builder has really broken down the learning process and made it so engaging for the students. After only a few weeks of use, I can already see great results as my students are growing in confidence daily and writing more conscientiously. I would never have had time to put all this together. It’s worth every cent!!! – Angela
