Student Books

  • Colorful 2-page lessons include high-interest, nonfiction articles in social studies and science followed by questions that assess key skills:
    • Reading: vocabulary, context clues, main idea, details, sequence, cause and effect, inferences and conclusions
    • Writing: narrative, descriptive, persuasive, expository
  • In the opening lessons, each question’s skill is labeled to guide students’ reading strategy. In subsequent lessons, the labels are removed to let students demonstrate their knowledge.
  • The order of the questions in each lesson varies to make the targeted skills less predictable.

Teacher’s Guides and Audio

Teacher’s guides include an evaluation chart, skill descriptors and instructional strategies, answer key, rubric, reproducible graphic organizers, and an audio link for the articles.
