“My students loved Bud and laughed at the muddy pug! But beyond the fun, I appreciated how targeted this resource was. I could use the flipbook version in my guided reading group and then send the one-pager home for practice—with no extra prep on my end. It’s structured, simple, and effective.” — Ashley M., 1st Grade Teacher
