We have been using F and P for several years. Our kits came with two books at each level, one fiction, one non. We like the books, the levels are fine. The comprehension questions are hard for K students who are reading above grade level and include retelling, inferences, author's intent, connections, and with levels E and above, written responses (also can be a problem for K students). I like the kits, they come with a good book to explain the system, and are pretty easy to use.
