Description
Improve your students' reading comprehension skills with this effective resource. The book provides 100 high-interest reading activities to help students gain fundamental comprehension skills, enabling them to succeed in reading complex and varied texts.
Each lesson includes a brief reading selection, questions, multiple-choice selections, and thinking and writing activities. The activities are grouped into seven units, each focusing on an important aspect of comprehension, and increase in difficulty level as students progress. This resource also offers activities that build advanced cognitive skills, as required by the National Assessment of Education Progress.
Reproducible worksheets make it easy to give individual students or groups extra practice, or use the activities as supplemental skill-building and test-prep activities for the full class. The book also includes a teacher section with guidance on how to introduce the activities to students and support them in their reading practices.
