5.0 out of 5 stars Great instructional tool, July 27, 2006

JC - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: 8th Grade Reading Comprehension Success (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for both teachers and tutors alike. I use it for both remedial and enrichment for the many different levels I am tutoring. The "Putting It All Together" chapters at the end of each unit are really great. The answer to each question is given along with the corresponding lesson so the student knows exactly which skills need to be practiced. I would highly recommend this outstanding book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Comprehension Prep for High School, June 24, 2008

Angela (Tampa Bay, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 8th Grade Reading Comprehension Success (Paperback)

This was a great prep for improving comprehension and improving active reading skills before entering high school. Lessons were fully explained, and then you were given exercises in a workbook format in order to check your understanding. The exercises were fully explained afterwards, to further explain the concepts in case something wasn't clear.
