CONNECT READING provides a personalized learning plan for each student, continually developed and refined as students achieve mastery. Each student plan is created through an individualized diagnostic that evaluates skills from 7th-grade level through college-readiness, for second-language learners, international students, adult students, and traditional high-schoolers. Offered completely online, CONNECT READING can be used in conjunction with READING AND ALL THAT JAZZ, which provide a printed experience for genuine thinking, assessment, and interpretation. Reading and All That Jazz, an introductory-to-intermediate reading text, motivates and engages readers with contemporary and relevant readings while building the essential reading skills and vocabulary needed for literal and critical comprehension.
