"Teach key strategies to build comprehension. This reproducible book teaches reading strategies to students in grade 5. Good readers use knowledge of how text is structured to comprehend it. These books make this knowledge explicit, especially to readers who need extra scaffolding. Covers 20 core comprehension strategies, from understanding an author’s purpose in writing text to seeing how details support a main idea.

Each topic is covered with a fun introductory lesson that deconstructs a short passage, demonstrates how to look within text for meaning, and then assesses students’ understanding of the concept with a short series of questions. This teaching lesson is followed by two assessment lessons, based on reading selections provided by Weekly Reader publications, and modeled on formats used in standardized tests.
