Spectrum Reading workbooks provide additional reading comprehension practice. Grade 8 has several interesting themes: women in history, ordinary kids/extraordinary deeds, art/illustration, fossils, search/rescue, let’s eat, space, under water, and bees. At this grade level, students are expected to read longer samples and respond with paragraphs.
Some example reading selections: Ella Fitzgerald, volunteering, anime for all ages, natural history museum, avalanches, Julia Child, swim team, and a honey farm.
