Wonderful resource! High quality resource!
A fantastic resource! I have been pleased with all of my purchases from CCP!
Thoughtful questions for students to ponder.
Great resource! Wonderful reinforcement for my 5th-grade students!
My favorite resource I've used with this novel!
Thank you.
I was so thankful to find this teaching resource. It was a huge time saver for me! Thank you!
absolutely fantastic- a wonderful resource to teach students at 11-12 year old
I absolutely love these literature units! Thank you for organizing such high quality teaching resources!
"I LOVE your literature units! I'm using "The Great Gilly Hopkins" right now and am going to use this one next. Thank you!"
Again, I love the literature kits. They are a big help in the classroom, especially with my struggling students.
Another great unit! My students and I enjoyed this one.
This unit was a lifesaver. I unexpectedly had to take a week off of school and used this to keep my students reading in my absence. When I came back (half way through their reading of the novel) they were so engaged with the novel. I now make a point to incorporate Number the Stars in my curriculum each year. I highly recommend this thorough, rigorous, thoughtful product to other ELA/Reading teachers.
Wonderful resource!
I'm a big fan of your literature units and I find them extremely helpful and fun to use with my students. I wish you would include more titles, like Gregor the Overlander and The Phantom Tollbooth. Thanks!
I have bought several of these and I love them! My students keep asking for more like these
High quality, detailed questions and support materials that go beyond typical drill and kill literature questions. Thank you!!!
