15 high interest reading articles are presented in this workbook to help students improve their reading speed, comprehension and critical thinking. This workbook is probably appropriate for grades 6-9. Each article is followed by questions for the student to answer. No key is provided--there is probably a separate teaching guide that could be purchased.
Stories are interesting. Covers finding the main idea, recall, making inferences, summarizing and paraphrasing. Critical thinking is also covered. Good buy
My adult ESL learners (intermediate level) love these stories. They are challenging, interesting, and don't read as if they were written for kids.
These short stories are great for students or your own children. They have a lot to them for such a great read.
