"This book was a perfect fit for teachers in grades three to five, but could also be used in grades six to eight to boost the reading skill of students reading two or more years below their grade level because no grade level is printed on the reproducible lessons. This book became my annual gift to ELA teachers to read, study, and discuss with colleagues and then to collaborate as they planned using the differentiated lessons with students!"
