Prompts in MY Access!® are aligned to the “themes” that are used to describe and organize textbook units.

1. Glencoe, Reading With Purpose, Courses 1, 2 & 3 2. Harcourt Trophies, Grade 6, Timeless Treasures 3. High Point, Levels A, B & C 4. Holt, Elements of Literature, Introductory Course, First Course & Second Course 5. McDougal Littell, Bridges to Literature, Levels 1, 2 & 3 6.

Prentice Hall, Timeless Voices, Timeless Themes, Bronze, Copper & Silver Levels 10. READ 180, Stage B & C 11. Write Source, CA, Grades 6, 7 & 8
