Timed Readings

Are your students running out of time on tests before they finish? Do they sound out every word, or glide across the page without retaining anything? When reading habits like these may be pulling down test performance, or when learners must handle larger volumes of text, this series offers targeted practice. Jamestown has spent more than three decades building reading speed and fluency while keeping comprehension intact. Timed Readings was the first series of its kind. Each lesson presents a nonfiction passage of roughly 400 words drawn from science, social studies, the humanities, and related subjects.
