McGraw-Hill Education's Engaging Online Tool Helps Educators Find Ideal Reading Solutions

Jamestown Education, a division of McGraw-Hill Education, and the industry leader in providing high-interest, age-appropriate reading programs for adolescents, has created a new informational Web site to help educators find the right reading solutions to meet the needs of today's students.

The Web site, www.jamestowneducation.com, provides a comprehensive overview of the Jamestown Education programs for secondary school educators and district administrators. Innovative features on the site such as a Reading Problem Solver Wheel and a readability search function help educators find the right products to motivate and engage their students while increasing reading achievement.

"Supplying educators with customized solutions to meet the needs of today's students is critical to ensuring our students succeed in the future," said Bodie Marx, senior vice president for McGraw-Hill Education's Intervention and Special Needs Center, which includes Jamestown Education. "Jamestown Education is committed to providing print and digital solutions to advance student achievement."

On the new site teachers and administrators can view detailed program descriptions and integrated digital resources, review sample lessons, find teaching tips, request free program samples, receive related program recommendations, and purchase online from the e-Catalog.

Educators also can hear from other teachers about the success of Jamestown Education programs. Robyn Cornwell, middle school teacher from Frisco, Colorado said, "Jamestown provides the best reading materials for teaching struggling readers key reading skills that I have come across in my 18 years of teaching. Not only are the selections engaging to all students, but students clearly increase their background knowledge, learn and integrate new vocabulary, and most importantly, develop the key reading skills to become more strategic readers. I swear by them!"

For more than 35 years, Jamestown Education has been a leading publisher of accessible reading materials for middle school, high school, and adult learners. Jamestown programs are research-based and flexible enough to allow for different student learning styles and interests, while producing results in reading achievement. Well-known programs include the Critical Reading Series, Timed Readings, The Wild Side, Goodman's Five-Star Stories, Jamestown Reading Navigator, and many more.
