"We love the Options products! We used the Strategies for Content Area Reading for our fall 2004 LEP Saturday school. The focus on science and social studies expository text enhanced the level of interest for our struggling ELL readers. The format of the lesson helped the ELL students understand the important skills and strategies that good readers use. Having students apply their knowledge at the bottom of each page made the reading more interactive and comprehensible. We plan to use this product again with our ELL students."
