"I use Great Books because the stories and essays are intelligent and provocative enough to spark and sustain student interest. The program has enhanced the materials and methods I use is a way that empowers students to think, read, and write critically. I love the fact that I can apply all of my Great Books texts to every level and ability of student—from English I to advanced placement classes, it works."—Rebecca Bowlen, English teacher, Ketchikan High School, Ketchikan, Alaska
"I believe students deserve a challenge. It is my job, my challenge, to provide experiences every day that test my students' skills. A teaching tool, like Junior Great Books, that makes providing that challenge a little less daunting is gold."—Terry Lenderman, gifted resource teacher, Bonaire Elementary School, Bonaire, GA
"My students were a bit reluctant to try Junior Great Books at first, but once we begin reading the stories, writing, and discussing, I can’t stop them. They want to keep going. Everyone wants to be heard."—Michael Stokes, teacher, third-grade teacher, Cityview Performing Arts Magnet, Minneapolis, Minnesota
