A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Based on a cognitive skills approach, these student-centered reading skills texts help students go beyond rote learning to develop the solid reading skills good readers take for granted. Skill development areas include:

• Reading for Pleasure Encourages students to master new reading strategies and broaden their vocabularies by helping them select books appropriate to their level and enjoy them on their own.
• Reading Comprehension Skills Emphasizes strategic reading skills such as skimming, scanning, recognizing topics and main ideas, understanding sentences, and making inferences.
• Thinking Skills Provides targeted practice in inference and analytical skills.
• Reading Faster Uses high-interest short fiction and nonfiction passages to help students develop speed and flexibility in their reading.

The four skill sections are intended to be used concurrently.

• Test booklets for Reading Power and More Reading Power contain reproducible black line masters to be used as additional practice or to test reading skills presented in the student books.
