Overview
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. John Glenn made history as the first American to orbit the earth. His amazing career included time spent as a fighter pilot in World War II, an astronaut, and a senator. He pushed the limits in everything he did, from setting a transcontinental speed record as a test pilot to returning to space at age 77 to conduct experiments on the effects of space on the elderly. Discover the fascinating story behind a true American hero.
