"This is the greatest resource ever and has been a god send for organizing for the year. I used it for the year I taught 7th grade and a little when I taught 9th grade. I am moving back down to 7th and 8th grade next year and, once again, have already pulled this out to use for the next school year. I edited to fit my district's scope and sequence and my students needs, but to see it laid out and organized is amazing and realizes all the stress and anxiety that comes with planning."

"I have loved all the materials that I purchased from Martina Cahill, it gave this new to 6th grade ELA teacher the resources needed to start in the middle of a semester and give students a decent foundation for future English classes."

"I was a 5th grade teacher going into 7th and 8th grade. I had no idea what the curriculum should be (as my new school does not have one), so this resource was incredibly helpful in that aspect to give me an idea as far as what to teach and when. In addition to that, it was great in providing me with resources for the first day and more. I loved this!"
"I loved this!"
