Reading Stories for Comprehension Success : Intermediate Level, Grades 4 - 6

Rating:
Summary: An Invaluable Addition to Any Educator's Library!
Review: "Reading Stories for Comprehension Success" is an excellent resource of forty-five non-fiction passages. Each graded passage is presented like a mini-unit. It begins with a host of prereading activities and resources for the particular non-fiction topic. Following this is the actual passage (and this reviewer has found the passages to be particularly well-written as well as very interesting). The passages are followed by well-designed questions, attending to both literal and non-literal comprehension. In addition, the passages lend themselves to follow-up writing assignments in which students can emulate the author's style. This is one of the best books of its kind!
