Laubach Way to Reading, Challenger, and Journey each emphasize different things. Which series is most appropriate will depend on what the tutor and student are comfortable with, the student’s goals, and the student’s particular needs, learning style, strengths, and weaknesses. The green button above brings you to a document from New Readers Press which may help you in determining where to start.
This Adult Education Placement Chart may also be useful in determining not only which book to start with but how to go about switching from resource to another, or making recommendations for our fiction series.
The links below are additional resources available for these three series, as well as some of the other series which may be available through your council office.

New Reader Press Links
The following links will take you to the New Readers Press website where you can learn more about these resources. This is a good place for you to familiarize yourself with all of the resources we offer.

If your council does not have these in stock, you can request them to add it to their next resource list.
