The Raven Remix

This book aligns with Level 3 of the HOT ROD series (Higher Order Thinking through the Reading of Decodables). Based on the Science of Reading, it appeals to students of a variety of ages and ability levels. The Background Information includes fascinating details of Poe's life including several theories about the cause of his mysterious death. For grades 5-9.

“Dean transforms the darker tones of Poe into imaginative humor and mystery. The Raven Remix remains true to Poe’s brilliant use of language while this delightful, decodable poem provides readers access to the actual meaning of ‘language arts.’
- Paula Moraine, M. Ed. Author of Helping Students Take Control of Everyday Executive Functions-The Attention Fix and Autism and Everyday Executive Functions
“Dean has provided a simple introduction to Poe’s exciting work while increasing awareness of the lifelong resilience that many students need. It should be on every classroom shelf (5th grade higher).” - Cynthia Barton, LSP, MA, PA, School Psychologist
