This is a wonderful reading comprehension workbook. It was recommended by one of our friends. The more than 70 pages of activities help 6th graders improve their reading comprehension skills through focused practice. This book includes engaging selections to target vocabulary, inference, and main idea. The book's colorful, inviting format, easy-to-follow directions, and clear explanations help build my son's confidence. The activities follow a natural skill progression and align with state and national standards. By building upon already learned material, this book motivated my son while reinforcing the concepts needed for academic success. My son really liked the stories of photography, dinosaurs, and world cities. And he was really interested in the review pages, because they helped him to make a solid reading comprehension skill. After he finished this workbook, he started to do reading practice on Beestar (a wonderful website beestar.org, which provides language arts program). He often ranks high among his peers. I give credits to this book. Highly recommend.
After trying many different reading programs, this series has been most helpful improving comprehension skills for a child with reading difficulties.
I really like this workbook. I actually use it to tutor a high school student with a reading disability and it has been helpful. The comprehension questions vary, which is nice, but they really help make sure the student is reading for meaning as he/she reads the text. I would definitely buy this book again if I had another student in need.
I purchased this workbook for my little brother to work on over the summer. It's filled with well-written stories along with questions to practice reading comprehension. For the most part, it was great, but some things bugged me. For example, the vocabulary questions doesn't test a child's observation skills (ie: looking around the vocab word for clues of what it may mean). They instead test a child's prior knowledge, so if my brother didn't know what the vocab meant, he would need to look it up in a dictionary rather than be given key words in the passage. In all, the workbook was pretty decent. It was good practice for my brother, and I won't hesitate to recommend it.
I am using this book to hone in on my son's slight reading comprehension issues. Each short, educational reading passage has a few multiple choice questions, with one written question, that requires a written answer. This is not a stand alone curriculum, but it has allowed me to see exactly what issues we need to work on.
Passages contain grade level-appropriate to challenging vocabulary words (e.g., "oligarchy," "potlach"). Questions are thoughtfully constructed.
Really interesting, mostly nonfiction, content. My son is reading one passage a day to maintain his reading comprehension skills. The passages are very interesting but not very long. The questions require them to take note of specific details and think critically about the content.
My daughter says she liked this book. It helped her practice and get better at some of the elements. I personally think this book needs more content and also should include some new concepts/ways of solving problems.
