Be GLAD has opened up a whole new world of teaching for me. It just makes sense and helps reach so many learners. I have noticed a difference. I wish I had learned to Be GLAD long ago.

Be GLAD has helped me plan to meet and integrate standards. The backwards planning really supported my understanding of how to plan to meet all social studies and science standards (and to integrate literacy into it). It has also made learning more visual for my students.

Hope Mwaniki2nd Grade Teacher

I will be using the Strip Paragraphs because they can really help struggling writers and readers in first grade, as it is more hands-on and allows students to move around. I have also utilized signal words and gestures that were used in GLAD videos for vocabulary and high-frequency words. It works perfect for first graders whose attention spans are short. Thank you.
