Reading Comprehension Skill Builders
These small (6" x 9") booklets are perfect for giving students lots of reading comprehension practice. Each 2-page spread offers an activity that students will enjoy as they improve their reading comprehension skills. The left page of the spread includes a grade-appropriate passage for students to read. Passages range from fiction to biographies to history to poems and more. All sorts of activities are then presented to test reading comprehension of the passage; these include typical multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank, short writing prompts, and at upper levels crossword puzzles and word searches. Cute black and white illustrations are included (more at younger levels), and a small critical thinking section in the back of each book includes exercises to develop higher-order thinking skills. These books offer some great, quick exercises for testing reading comprehension of various text types with various exercise formats. Each book is about 78 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel
