Content Reading: Science features nonfiction articles that parallel the core content of most state curriculum frameworks. Lessons make real-life connections and keep students engaged while they improve reading skills and build comprehension.
Articles cover grade-appropriate topics and sciences, including:
- technology
- environmental science
- important people in science
- Earth and space science
- life science
- physical science
The consistent question format allows you to identify students’ weaknesses so you can target instruction. Comprehension skills are tested in the same order every time: factual detail, main idea, inference, sequence, cause/effect or fact opinion, and content vocabulary. The last question is open ended to encourage higher-order thinking and writing.
