For all classroom reading teachers and reading specialists, here is an exciting collection of stories that capture and hold students' natural interest in animals while steadily improving their vocabulary, reading comprehension and critical thinking skills through carefully designed activity sheets. You'll find 80 ready-to-use, fully illustrated stories and activity sheets organized into four sections focusing on reading levels 3 to 6 (each level contains 20 two-page stories and 20 accompanying two-page activity sheets). The stories are preceded by "New Vocabulary" to introduce the pronunciation and meaning of new words and "Questions to Ask" to arouse students' curiosity and recall prior knowledge. Students of all ability levels learn new vocabulary by hearing words used in context, often with clues to the meaning built into the story. Vocabulary is repeated in successive stories to reinforce its learning and to make it part of the student's growing language of words. Reading comprehension skills-like using facts to answer specific questions, recognizing main ideas, understanding cause and effects, and predictions-are stressed in all activity sheets. For your convenience, all of this ready-to-use material is printed in a big 8-1/4" x 11" lay-flat binding that folds flat for easy photocopying of each story selection and its accompanying activity sheets.
