Publisher's Synopsis
Develop students comprehension skills with meaningful reading and writing exercises designed to challenge and guide students toward the mastery of targeted strategies. Each book includes eight Comprehension Activities sub-sections, each focusing on a specific comprehension skill: finding main ideas, noting details, using context clues, identifying facts and opinions, finding cause and effect, sequencing, making inferences, and predicting outcomes. The Strategies in Writing section provides students with the opportunity to identify and practice the same comprehension skills but in an open-ended, short-answer format. Correlated to the Common Core State Standards.
