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.
