Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Skills Alert Stories are the anchor of ADVENTURES PLUS, a high-interest review and reinforcement series that helps students master the POWER SKILLS, the vital skills and concepts taught and tested in Grades 4-6.

These stories help students apply the skills they learn in "textbook situations" to solve meaningful problems. In order to master these vital skills and apply them effectively, students must think critically and creatively. Doing this "seats" the skills and helps students achieve deep mastery. Once students are able to transfer core skills and use them independently to solve meaningful problems, they own the skills. They are then better equipped to transfer those skills and use them flexibly in unfamiliar contexts -- in both the organic complexity of real-life situations and the refined artifice of standardized tests.
