Here’s why I just love Jamestown:

Consistent Format:
Question numbers relate to the specific skills, permitting
on-going diagnosis and evaluation of skills and
sub-skills.

Readability:
Accurate reading levels; adaptations preserve the original concepts, intent, and substance. Other adapted texts dilute the content so much, making it shallow in terms of content.

Activities:
All are appropriate for one
or two 40-minute periods, depending on teacher embellishments and enhancements (appropriate for secondary schedules).
