My EL students of all ages needed reminders about articles! I primarily used the activities for my 1st/2nd graders but found that I could still use some of these resources for the older kids too. Great flexibility for students of all levels.

I wanted a resource that would direct my daughter on how to use the definitive article “THE”, but there were hardly any activities for the same. I thought that since there were so many pages, it would explain things to her. However a lot of the pages have activities that I could find online for free. In addition, this pack put the onus on me to sit and do the activity with my daughter, instead of letting her do it independently. I am very disappointed.

My students LOVE anything that lets them get up and move to review key skills. The scoots and review pages were awesome!
