McGraw-Hill Reading Series

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Can anyone comment on this reading series? As I understand things, it is used in about 35% of schools but does that make it helpful to those kids who struggle? I also am under the impression that there are 3 levels per grade (low, middle, high) but in my son’s school they only purchased one level. My son is in the second grade and when I looked over the book I had a lot of reservations.

Thanks.
