Need an adapted OpenSciEd curriculum for middle school students with mild to moderate disabilities reading at 1st-3rd grade level but covering 6th-8th grade standards.

No existing adapted OpenSciEd curriculum exists for students reading far below grade level, forcing teachers to create their own materials or use non-aligned resources.
