E2E Adapted Lit: Easier-to-Read Fahrenheit 451--SPED, ELL, Comprehension

No student should feel like grade level texts are out of their reach. Classic literature doesn't have to be scary, boring, or too hard. Literature is for everyone!

Summary sites online and those little yellow and black notebooks are no longer your only choices for students who are struggling. Universally designed texts preserve the storytelling...while taking away the confusing word choices and hard-to-navigate formatting.

Enraged2Engaged adapted texts take classic literature common to secondary ELA classrooms and rewrite them with words and style that are easier for ALL students to read. Fewer frustrated kids. Fewer heads down on the desk. Less refusal. Less acting out. More engagement. More confidence. Better understanding.

This retelling of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 reads at an automated readability index of grade 4/5. This text aligns to 2013 reprint with preface by Neil Gaiman.

THIS TEXT INCLUDES READ-ALONG AUDIO FOR EVERY CHAPTER.
