"I strongly recommend Options Best Practices in Reading. The readings are truly interesting and always perfect for teacher / student collaboration. Best Practices gives excellent on-going assessment. My students even read the stories for fun! Working with Best Practices in Reading has improved our test scores considerably."
Greg Lowe, Teacher, Corrither Lipe Middle School, Landis, NC
"We used Just Right Reading for tutoring our ELL students. We were really looking for materials with a balanced focus on all of the building blocks of literacy - including phonemic awareness, phonics, and fluency. Just Right Reading was one of the only materials that met our needs. The kids really enjoyed the colorful illustrations, too!"
Laurie Kyle, Secondary ESL Specialist, Richardson ISD, Richardson, TX

Yes. There is no restriction on which Buckle Down editions you may order. If you order or request review copies of another state’s materials, please include a note in the comments to the effect of “I am intentionally requesting a state other than the one I reside in,” so that our warehouse staff knows it’s not an error.
As teaching methods evolve and new research in instruction is released, some of our “classic” products may be retired as newer materials are published. To find out if your product has been retired, you can contact Customer Service at 800-782-7300 (Hours: 8am to 6pm, Monday-Friday eastern) or contact the Educational Consultant for your region.
Yes. Our core purpose is to provide industry-leading intervention and remediation materials, and we understand that your average classroom encompasses students working at many grade levels. You can mix grade levels within a single product line to reach the discount price quantity of 11. However, our website does not support mix-and-match, so unfortunately we cannot accommodate this for online orders. Example 1: You can get four copies of Breakaway Math for Level C, four copies at Level D, and three at Level E and receive the “11 and over” price for all of them. Example 2: If you purchased four copies of Breakaway Math Level C, four at Level D, and four Foundations in Math, Level C would NOT be eligible for the “11 and over” pricing. SHIPPING All materials are shipped UPS Ground, which is approximately 10-15 business days.

MISCELLANEOUS How can I get a free review copy/sample of an Options Publishing product to examine? We understand that your buying decision is an important one, and seeing our products first-hand is a vital step in the decision-making process. Each product page has a link at the top where you can Request a Sample. We will gladly send you up to three free review copies to assist in your buying decision. Some Options’ products do not lend easily to a free sample (for example, classroom libraries and intervention kits for 20 students). In these cases, you will receive a sampling of components and supporting literature that give you a clear picture of the program.
