“I am even seeing my ESL and IEP students having success making stronger attempts with their reading and writing, and developing better word knowledge! Another thing I enjoy is the amount of time I am saving planning. SO WONDERFUL! I just need to study the lesson and tweak it here and there for specific learners’ needs. I am in year 32, I wish I had this long ago.”
“[This is] truly the best product on the market in my opinion. I have heard from so many teachers how much they love Stepping Together. All I can say is wow! The engagement from every single student (from the most struggling to the most advanced) was absolutely amazing. The writing component is just so wonderful in how it allows students to actively apply the skills they are learning as readers into their writing.”
