What's the Plus? I'm glad you asked. This series provides instruction and practice in major comprehension skills and strategies as well as guided practice in related study skills and writing assignments. Each of the 30 lessons starts with a short passage plus guided instruction and practice on a particular skill. Then follows a longer passage (high interest topics from well-known authors), comprehension questions, and more practice on specific comprehension skills. A short vocabulary study and a writing activity complete the lesson. Coverage of comprehension skills is thorough and includes extras such as literary elements, some specific word studies, and exercises in "document" reading (i.e. maps, tables, graphs, dictionary, encyclopedia, etc.). All in all, a very well-rounded, grade-specific series. Student Worktexts are full-color. Teacher's Guides are needed to take full value from the series. Guides include a scope and sequence for the series, test masters (and answer keys), detailed lesson plans, reproducible graphic organizers, and an answer key for the worktext. ~ Janice
