Soo thankful for this resource! Excellent for the students in my setting (mild/moderate intellectual disabilities) that should access the same content as their peers, but need that extra scaffolding (writing narratives in 5th grade). Thank you!  - Angela V.  (4th, 5th grades, Primarily students with mild to severe disabilities, and with learning difficulties)
