I’ve just started using this and I am so glad to find all the book titles are on Epic Books! This is a great resource and I would recommend it. The booklist has a lot of great titles with prepared question sheets. All the language arts topics you need are in here, such as story re-tell, character, setting and plot questions, fiction and non-fiction titles. This is a worth-while purchase.
