The Reading Comprehension Series is designed to reinforce main idea and sequence identification, use context to identify words, recognize cause and effect, and develop many other skills taught in the classroom.
The series builds reading comprehension by emphasizing kinesthetic learning, listening skills, decision making, syntactic understanding and evaluation.
In American Wildlife, students sense the effect of skunk glands, find out how Gila monsters store food, and why wolverines, though bad-smelling, are very prized.
Building their vocabulary, developing and enhancing their organization and acquisition of information, and enriching their perspective of the world are all skills that are strengthened in this program.
