The story lessons and activities in both volumes are designed with modifications for the learning disabled built in. They can be used with all regular and special students in any basal or whole language reading program, and help increase students' confidence, interest, and involvement in learning while growing comprehension skills.

You'll find 15 story lessons at each grade level, all printed in a big 8-1/4" x 11" format for easy photocopying of the stories, questions, and accompanying tests and student data sheets. Each story lesson is organized into the following sections:

  • The Story: Each factual story is designed to capture and hold children's interest and is accompanied by a reproducible full-page picture.
  • Questions: Specially designed comprehension questions require students to think out their answer and respond with complete, written sentences.
  • Extension Activities: Projects, plays, and a variety of other activities allow the student to experience the subject beyond the story.
Each grade-level volume also includes a special introduction offering detailed suggestions for using "Reading Stories for Comprehension Success" with students of all abilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book-A Must For Elementary School Teachers, June 14, 2000
By A Customer
Primary Level : 45 High-Interest Lessons With Reproducible Selections and Questions That Make Kids Think is an excellent resource for elementary school teachers. The lessons and stories are categorized by grade levels. One of the best books I have come across in a long time. A vast array of pre-reading and post-reading activities are included. Best of all are the fifteen questions at the end of each story. These questions include descriptive, sequential, and builds up to effect, summarization, fact and opinion. This book is a must for any teacher with struggling readers who need extra practice and strategies in learning how to comprehend reading materials.

4.0 out of 5 stars reading comprehension, January 22, 2008
By Barbara Ellison "old and still learning" (West Harrison, IN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book could be a valuable addition to any teacher's resources. It is full of leveled stories. Each story has a series of work sheets that give students practice using higher level thinking skills. Most of the answers require short written responses. Writing is almost always a weak area for young children. This book provides good directed practice in answering questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reading Stories for Comprehension Success: Primary Level, Grades 1-3, November 9, 2006
Great resource! I use the stories and questions with at risk special education students. The book includes many activities to encourage comprehension of text by using experiential activities.

This is a terrific teacher aid. It walks you through an entire lesson or you can adapt and use it as a literacy center activity.
