Here's the ideal resource for those under-performing readers in grades 3-8! Journey into Reading: New York 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 NYS Performance Indicators and Literacy Competencies.
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
