So I understand uh you used American Book Company materials. Uh yes, so I saw the ABC and I was like, I know that. Where where do we know that from? And then I saw the books and I was like, oh my gosh, that is like my that's my bread and butter. Um so I use it for all of our test prep. That's like when we get the the big uh big purple book out. Is mine purple? It's like a purple shred. Then we know it's go time. And I just I I love that book because um it highlights those state standards and then all the substandards, and it's just it's put together really nicely and it's easy to follow and clear. Sometimes you get too much, but it's it's just like just enough. You know, you can pick and choose what you kind of need to do, which I I end up using all of it, but if you want to kind of accommodate towards okay, you need to write this, or if you need to do it all together, but I also have some of the older stuff, so when I need to kind of merge the speakers overhead coming in, but um if I need to remediate with those um older copies that I do have, it's so nice to have, and I kind of pieced together um and just hit those highlight where we need to work on as well. So I love the book. I was looking at it, I'm like, oh, that's nice and sharp and clean. Might have to take that one with me. There you go. Absolutely. Well, I'm glad they worked out so well for you, and I understand that the scores were were good. Yeah, so every year and and I can see, you know, and if if I take a greater emphasis on one section or another, I know that's where I need to, oh, I remember this part in the book, or maybe I can, you know, highlight the parts I needed to work on better. Like I think one of mine was like vocabulary. So I I like went back in for this year, made sure that on my my work throughout this year, like my pacing guide, that you know, those were the words I used in my review, like make sure I am implementing those different practices to kind of help with my stage horse. Oh, that's wonderful.
