  43. Martha B. –

    I bought both 3-4 and 4-5 it was exactly the same. Wasted money 🙁

    • jonathan –

      Hi Martha. The texts are not the same. They are differentiated for the intended grade levels and analyzed through Lexile. The storyline and videos are the same and make this as clear as possible through the previews, covers, and descriptions. We even explicetly state this right in the description. Many teachers prefer this so they can seamlessly differentiate. In the future, please take the time to look at the covers, previews, and descriptions so you know what you are getting and don’t waste your money. I try very hard to provide teachers with the information they need to make informed purchases, so it is also frustrating on our end when someone doesn’t look at the information and leaves a bad review.
