Meet the students of Carter High - they are a diverse group of teens from a variety of backgrounds. Each softcover book features a character embroiled in a typical high school dilemma. Topics are involving and pertinent to young adult readers: romance, sports, friendship, exams, work, and family. In just 48-pages, even your least motivated readers can easily finish these novels!

The Teacher's Resource Guides provide over 100 activities and reproducible worksheets to support the books and extend students' reading skills. Each is 8-1/2" x 11" and 16-pages. A key at the end of each guide provides answers and sample responses. The activities give lower-level readers the tools to construct, extend, and examine the meaning of text.

• Decoding words, using words correctly, understanding meanings, and extending vocabulary.
• Identifying details and facts and recognizing aspects of literal text, such as sequence of events or main ideas.
• The reader must distinguish between and compare separate concepts in a text to extend its meaning.
• Personal reflection and response.
• Demonstrating a critical stance.
