Category Description for Spectrum Reading (2025 Edition)
The new edition for 2025 includes the same user-friendly format as previous editions with some new features. Each consumable workbook is designed to supplement your ELA program with a mix of fiction and nonfiction passages and answers in the back. What’s new? Discussion content for before and after you read, vocabulary definitions, and IXL tutorial connections!
The expectation would be to complete 2-3 pages a week. Students read a selected passage and respond to questions directly in the workbook. There are a variety of question types, and students will be asked to write out their responses.
While many parents will use this as something for their child to complete independently, helpful before reading, during reading, and after reading questions are included to encourage discussion. Many students who struggle with reading comprehension do much better when given the opportunity to talk before they read. Vocabulary words are defined and can be overviewed before reading to ensure a student is getting the most out of a reading selection.
In this new edition, lessons now include an identifier to find a corresponding lesson on IXL. IXL is a tutorial website with short videos. This is completely optional and not essential for using the workbooks. A QR code inside the front cover takes you to the IXL site, where you can choose to add the service for a monthly fee.
Reading passages are mostly updated from the previous edition. You can find some examples for each grade level in individual product descriptions. The popular series continues to be offered for grade levels K-8 with colorful, engaging activity pages. Spectrum is a popular choice for grade-level standardized test prep. The pages are not reproducible, which means you are expected to provide one workbook per student. Pages are perforated.
