Journey into Reading: Ohio

Here's the ideal resource for those under-performing readers in grades 3-8! Journey into Reading: Ohio provides contextual support for vocabulary and word skills, combined with high-interest articles in full-color layouts.

Teacher's guides include comprehension skills and strategies, an implementation guide, and an answer key with correlations to the English-Language Arts Academic Content Standards.

Student books feature a three stage approach to developing vocabulary: preteaching vocabulary for each reading selection, highlighting more vocabulary words within each selection, and providing word-study activities after each selection.

Each lesson emphasizes a specific reading skill:

Literal skills

• Recognizing the main idea
• Recalling details
• Determining the sequence of events
• Identifying cause-and-effect relationships

Inferential skills

• Comparing and contrasting
• Making inferences and drawing conclusions
• Telling fact from opinion
• Predicting

Teacher resource kits are an excellent support tool for the series! Components include an Ohio teacher's guide and blackline masters for graphic organizers, vocabulary tests, skill-specific practice, and a posttest.
