Customer Reviews

Quite accessible

I checked out this book from the library this summer trying to find an easy version of Poe. This version is very simple. There are few words that need explanation for struggling readers. I liked it so much that I decided to buy 20 copies for use in my classroom. October will be great!

Three Chilling tales of the macabre for the low reader.

This book offers those of a very low reading level a way to explore classic literature. After using it in my classroom with my special education students, they were able to freely participate in discussions as well as contribute to group projects. It allows those reading below the third grade level to engage with other adults and older students in literary conversations.
