What others are saying about our guides:
I just wanted to thank you for our Number the Stars book guide. Ordinarily I’m a school librarian, but with the change of our entire school’s curriculum to daily online classes in just a few days, we were expected to come up with curriculum – in a hurry – to support our elementary grades. The Number the Stars packet offered exactly the right amount of history, research, imagination, linking, reflection, and thoughtful writing prompts. You’ve really created a wonderful teaching program with extraordinary content. I’m very grateful for all your efforts, and am highly recommending your website, book lists, and guides to teachers and parents, both in and outside our school. —Elizabeth
