This review is from: Great Source Daybooks: Critical Reading and Writing Student Edition Grade 9 (Paperback)

Critical reading and evaluation of information is imperitive in today's world of media/info overload. These books give a young person a chance to practice those skills before being bombarded with the biased. These workbooks also give them a chance to practice their writing skills using a variety of topics presented. There are no wrong ways to read and write in this book; just practice and learning. I wouldn't do without these books for my home students.

Not overwhelming with frills, but plenty of information. It is simple and self explanatory so I'm not standing over their shoulder interpreting for them.

Each short chapter can be done in a week at one page a day.
The format is layed out as such: a wide variety of short writings to read, room to write notes on the side (response notes), making connections to the story note space, questions to provoke more thought, intrepretation or write-your-own space.
