Description
Publisher's Description of Early Reading Comprehension Book B
Specifically targeted to grades 2 through 4, the Early Reading Comprehension series helps students who need more practice in reading comprehension skills. Each book contains 25 selections and has the same format as other books in the Reading Comprehension series, with selections on social studies, science, literature and language, philosophy, logic and mathematics, the arts, and combined subjects. Exercises develop student skills in finding the main idea, identifying facts, following sequences, drawing conclusions, and making assumptions. The books also contain a new writing component that gives students practice in writing a short paragraph as well as a longer piece that gives their interpretation or opinion of a question related to the selection. PRODUCT FEATURES
  • In each lesson, the presentation of the passage follows a consistent 7-step format
  • Skills addressed include story recall, sequencing, identifying facts, drawing conclusions, vocabulary development, main idea, extending thoughts in writing, and inference

Out of the many comprehension workbooks I have used and reviewed, this series is my personal favorite. It contains great variety in subject matter and excellent thinking questions. Before reading each of the 31 reading selections per book, a short introduction gives a little background information and states the reading skill to be emphasized. Selections include pieces on general topics, mathematics, philosophy, literature, science, social studies, logic and thinking, language, and the arts. Because this is a secular program, you may choose to preview some of the reading selections, particularly in the upper grades. Following the selections are questions which require students to find the main idea, identify sequence, draw conclusions, make assumptions, match vocabulary words to meanings, and identify and interpret facts. Although this series is my favorite, our children are not as certain, since these books really made them think. Please note that there are no answers included in the workbooks. All answers are provided in the small Teacher Keys, available for each workbook as a separate but inexpensive purchase.

I started using this program with my daughter and absolutely loved it and for the cost it was more than worth it I loved how it was laid out and how the subject matter intertwined with other subjects we were working on I found things in reading these that I didn't know The reading starts short in the early editions and get longer as the kids get older and ask questions and has an activity at the end Love the layout! My daughter and I would just discuss the questions and she would do an activity on her own We did almost three books a school year we did so well with them
