⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Patricia W. says: "Thank you so much for creating this! I'm having a difficult time this year getting my Language Arts block organized. There's so many resources but most act as if you already know where to begin or it's just fluff. I needed something that says here is exactly how to set up book clubs. Here's a strategy to keep it on track. This is so perfect!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stefanie T. says: "LOVE IT! Just like everything else you produce Hilary, this is perfect! I love how everything is broken down so easily that the kids can do it without me. THANKS!!!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Katie D. says: "This has it all! I was trying to find a book clubs packet to give to a substitute to use during my maternity leave and this is perfect! Everything is spelled out for you!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tanya V. says: "Love this! I can't wait to use this. I have a small class, but four are below grade level. The structure of the packet will help keep them on task. I'm going to show the class your video too. They love seeing other students in action."
