Description
Reading comprehension is key to all subjects. Students need to be able to understand what they are reading for any subject to make sense. This supplemental series focuses directly on reading comprehension skills in a variety of areas through fiction and non-fiction reading passages. Each 128-page book offers over 100 reading passages, each followed with questions of different types - multiple choice, true/false, sequencing, short answer, story webs, and more. Comprehension will focus on key topics such as: main idea, summarizing, fact/opinion, cause/effect, vocabulary, inference, point of view, story elements, compare/contrast, and more.
If you have a student that struggles with reading comprehension or you just want to sharpen comprehension skills, this series might be a good option for you. If you are concerned about meeting standards, this series does that for you as well. An alignment chart is at the front of each book, and an answer key is found at the back. This series is reproducible, so you can practice favorite topics more than once as you prepare for standardized testing.
