DIAGNOSE AND ASSESS

Reading Predictors

• Diagnose and evaluate skill levels before beginning instruction with the pretest to identify strengths and areas for focus.
• Use the posttest after instruction to measure progress and show student growth.

INSTRUCT AND PRACTICE

Comprehension Matters

• Two review books included: Main Idea and Details and Drawing Conclusions and Making Inferences. Each skill book begins with a Strategy Review section, explaining the skill clearly and giving guided instruction.
• “Writing Connections” in each lesson emphasize sentence structure and grammar by linking comprehension and writing; reinforce skills with practice lessons where students can apply new skills to passages and both multiple-choice and short-answer questions.
• Monitor progress and double-check mastery with a quick assessment at the end of each book.
