While most of our readers are in high school, adult schools, community colleges and library literacy projects, we received this note from a middle school teacher:

"These continue to be a fabulous teaching tool and extremely valuable resource for my middle school ELL's.  I'm using them with 6th, 7th & 8th graders this year, and the opportunity for them to interact with current event informational text at an accessible level is invaluable as we strive to prepare for Common Core."

---Teacher, Redwood Middle School, Napa, CA
