assessment components to accompany each module of the program.

remind students of how to work with each strategy. Spanish
versions have just been released. www.curriculumplus.ca
JARRETT
PUBLISHING COMPANY was founded in 1989 by a small group
of teachers who were dissatisfied with existing educational
publications. Drawing on their 75 years of classroom experience,
they began to develop material for their own students. With
the enormous success of these materials they began to make
what they had developed available to other educators. Each
of their test preparation books is closely aligned with mandated
state learning standards. The books focus on teaching students
how to master the skills and content they will need to perform
their very best on the TAKS Test.
