[CASL-L] Need Pro/Con Database for Lower Level Readers

I agree with Juliann.  I suggest you contact Facts on File to see if they’ll give you a 30 day trial.  Then use it to compare/contrast with SIRS.

If you have students at a lower reading level they can select the "read aloud" option and have it read to them since auditory comprehension exceeds reading comprehension.
