Publishers & Distributors of Educational Materials
for the Older Student Who Is Reading Below Grade Level

Welcome to Kids In Between!

Kids in Between is a publisher and distributor of educational materials.  The company was formed over 25 years ago because we felt there were plenty of materials for low functioning students, and there were plenty of materials for students functioning on level.  What we felt were missing from the market were materials for the "kids in between," or those older students who couldn't quite handle a standard textbook, but that could read about the 4th grade.  Many publishing houses put out reading materials for the kids in between, but they didn't publish much for the other content areas. Our name represents the population we think we're serving.  Since getting started years ago, the variety of our materials has grown as well as the types of places using our materials. 

Among others, our materials are used by:

A word about our materials...

Our materials are not exciting, stimulating, interesting or motivating.  Our materials are dull just like everyone else's.  We simply admit it.  We have not found a way to make verbs or fractions exciting.  We believe our materials are well sequenced, fairly repetitive and simplified.  They do not have any moving parts and they are not in color.  There's no way of knowing if our materials will work with your students.  If our materials work with your students, we're happy for you, them, and us.  If the materials don't work, send them back.

Most of our materials are written at about a 4.0 reading level.   They are written in a simple, direct style with lots of repetition to help students finally grasp topics that have eluded them. Most of our materials include text, worksheets, and tests which are reproducible. By reproducible, we mean that with a copier you can make as many copies as you need for ONE classroom.  The copyright police come out in force when you reproduce for the entire 6th grade team or an entire school system.

A note about our catalog . . . 

We should note, that while our catalog and website are smattered with silliness our materials are not. They are sequenced and repetitive covering many of the same subjects offered in regular classrooms. They aim to offer success to the struggling student, while at the same time not insulting their intelligence. For more information on ordering our products, check out our Catalog.

Thanks for taking time to learn a little about Kids In Between.  We hope you enjoy our website, our catalog and our products!  Please feel free to contact us with your comments.

Unless otherwise stated, you can figure that all our materials are written for adolescents or young adults who are reading at about 4.0.
