• Valerie L. said, “I have used this for 3 weeks now with my class and I am already seeing improvements! I was looking for a way to incorporate some creative writing into all the common core, reading response writing tasks that don't allow for very much creativity- this is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I can't live without it now. Thank you for creating such a wonderful resource!”

• Tina W. said, “Excellent resource for homework. My 4th grade pull out class loves these writing prompts. They are very creative and I am receiving some very interesting responses. Purchase is worth every cent.”

• Kerry F. said, “My students have a hard time with writing.  I use this as a center station because it breaks down the writing assignment into parts making it easier for students. Thank you”
