Is this really appropriate for 7th-10th grade?

I have used these resources in 8th and 9th-grade classrooms in three different schools. I have had customers tell me that they have used them with success in 7th and 10th also, with students of different abilities. For example, this could challenge an "advanced" group of 7th graders and support struggling readers in 10th. Please email me if you have any additional questions.
