Jamestown Education




	Read below grade level Don’t comprehend well Rarely choose to read Perform poorly on tests




	I am an Intervention Specialist at a junior high school. I deal with regular ed students, identified IEP students, and students at risk. Your books have been a blessing as they come at all different reading levels, and the students love the topics. They are also great for doing assessments for IEPs, MFEs, and 501Gs—all technical jargon for special educators’ paperwork. — Brad Oatman Intervention Specialist Sylvania, OH
