Frequently asked questions

Is this list-based or skills-based?

Both. Students learn transferable word-attack strategies while also building a bank of high-utility academic vocabulary.

What grade levels are these for?

They are written for Grades 6–9 and work across on-level, support and ELL-inclusive classes. Differentiated and optional tasks let you scale the difficulty up or down for mixed-ability groups without extra prep.

What files do I get, and can I reuse them?

Each resource downloads instantly as editable Microsoft Word worksheets and answer keys plus a PowerPoint slide deck, so you can print class sets or teach digitally. A purchase is licensed for your own classroom, so you can reuse it with new students every year.
