Comprehension Skills: Short Passages for Close Reading: Grade 1 Paperback – May 1, 2012

Quick little stories to help build confidence in early readers

I use this book for busy days like practice days. A very short paragraph ( a half page or less) and a few quick multiple choice questions. It takes only a few minutes to finish. It still a brain work. I would rather have him do something like this than skipping work altogether. Each paragraph is interesting to me, too.

This book is wonderful. I bought it for a 7 year old which will probably be above what level she is on but I also bought the one for 3rd graders so she will work her way up to this one in no time!

I like the reading material. It is not too long or short. I do think the book could be a little bigger but overall a good option for a 6th grade student.

I always purchase a grade level up for my son to help practice. Productive and easily can be implemented for summer time use!

This was perfect for a quick resource. I used this with small groups, for whole class active engagement, and for quick little assessments.

I buy a lot of these books for Do Nows and Drills in my classroom. I love this one for several reasons. First off, it identifies the skills being targeted in each exercise. The passages are short and concise, making them perfect for a Do Now activity. Additionally, it includes a short answer, critical thinking question at the end of each exercise. The passages are high interest and the illustrations add something to the text.

This workbook is an excellent tool in my preparation for my daughter to start 1st grade in the fall. The passages are short and clear and the comprehension questions that follow are great for ensuring your child understands what was read. Buy this!
