"I watched Jennica use this in a demo and I couldn’t believe how she took an entering student into talking using a complete sentence! It was so simple. I did this immediately and got the same results with my students. WOW"
"The planning section alone helped me realize how intentional I need to be with language learners and how to apply this to everything I do!"
"I wished my GLAD trainers could come back and do more PD because I was having trouble doing the writing strategies. This guide felt like the trainer was there. I am going to purchase more follow up coaching guides for this reason"
