Here's What People are Saying About Weekly Reader AbleNet Editions:

"I really feel that every special education teacher and their students could benefit from the Weekly Reader AbleNet Editions subscription.  The adaptions and teacher lesson plan ideas are so well thought out and focus on presenting curriculum that all students can truly be engaged and have successful experiences.  Our state of Florida has recently developed access points to the State Standards for all content areas to align with the alternate assessment that our students are required to take.  The Weekly Reader is one of the few tools that I have seen on the market that is teacher friendly and provides what is needed to give our students a more rigorous curriculum."
