Reading Comprehension Grade 5 Jonathan D Kantrowitz

These extraordinary workbooks each provide dozens of on-grade-level reading comprehension passages. The passages include fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Each passage is followed by a number of multiple-choice questions. The questions test and provide practice for reading comprehension skills, both literal comprehension and critical-thinking skills. Open-ended question follows most passages. These questions provide practice both in reasoning skills and in composition. The Kindergarten through Grade 2 books include extensive illustrations. The Grades 3 through 8 books are very substantial in size-144 to 204 pages each, with hours and hours of reading assignments and practice questions in each. The Grade 3 and Grade 4 books also include some illustrations, to help hold younger students' attention. Teacher Editions provide suggestions for use, correct answers to multiple-choice questions, and suggestions for appropriate responses to open-ended questions.
