Do your students fail to even "finish" a timed test? Do they read word by word? Do they simply move their eyes over the page, never remembering what they read?

If you suspect that students' test scores are being confounded by any of these traits, or if you have students who need to process greater amounts of information, the "Timed Readings" books can help.

For over thirty years, Jamestown has been helping students increase their reading rate and fluency while maintaining comprehension.

"Timed Readings in Literature" features 400-word excerpts from great literature, including Twain, Dickens, Bronte, Douglass, London, Poe, and others.
