I repeat...
Just because a company has a name DOES NOT mean they are making quality materials.
PLEASE do your homework before purchases.

Picture cues, loads of unlearned phonics
Whenever I read research from @nellduke I am reminded how @GreatMindsEd @WitWisdomELA puts the research into practice! @CurriculumMatrs
