Highly rated Literature program.
The student book is colorful and enjoyable visually. Stories in the Opal and Ruby books we have used were all great literature samples.
I have used this in the past and have had great success.
We have used Mosdos before. We like the straightforward approach. It combines reading comprehension, vocabulary, writing skills, etc. all in an easy format.
