What educators are saying
I have just recently started using the A-Z reading scales. I was pleased to find this resource that aligns with the program.
I was so happy to find these passages. I am able to provide text-rich materials that my students can work on in centers independently or with a partner. I also use them as at-home practice following my LLI small-group work.
