Jamie Johnson: Ready to Score Set (Graded Reader + Workbook)

Jamie Johnson: Ready to Score Graded Reader

Jamie Johnson is captain of his school team in a crucial match against rivals Stonecroft School. It’s his toughest challenge yet — the opponents are bigger, stronger, and determined to win. But when a Stonecroft player faces an unexpected problem, Jamie must make a decision that tests both his skills and his character.

Ready to Score is the second graded reader adapted from Dan Freedman’s middle grade novel Born to Play. To make the story accessible to reluctant readers and English language learners, the novel is divided into two parts: Born to Play (Reader 1) and Ready to Score (Reader 2).
