Research has found that the majority of middle school students have not reached a proficient reading level and that there are few age-appropriate resources available for older struggling readers. the new and innovative, Just the Facts Biographies series, which offers more than 100 pages on the lives of some of history's most important and influential figures, addresses these concerns by presenting biographies written at a 3rd grade level, but designed for middle school students. Each biography has been assessed by an educational expert to ensure that it enhances students' comprehension and vocabulary, enabling struggling readers to gain the practice and skills necessary to become more proficient readers and progress to a higher reading level. Jesse Owens, an African-American, endured harsh discrimination to become one of the greatest track stars in history. He was the first track athlete to win four gold medals in a single Olympics and set six World Records. from a sickly childhood in a poor farming community to competing in front of Adolf Hitler at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, follow Owens' life as he became one of the most respected and beloved athletes of all time.
