These essential materials are the critical foundation for accelerating student retention and enabling seamless, differentiated small-group work.

This significantly increases retention compared to delayed feedback on paper assignments. I want my students to achieve their literacy goals in a high-energy, non-threatening environment, and these materials will go a long way in providing that atmosphere.
