Publisher's Synopsis
Research has found that the majority of middle school students have not reached a proficient reading level and that there are few age-appropriate resources available for older struggling readers. This new and innovative series, which offers more than 100 pages on the lives of some of history's most important and influential figures, addresses these concerns. Each biography has been assessed by an educational expert to ensure that it enhances students' comprehension and vocabulary, enabling struggling readers to progress to a higher reading level.
