I'm a Title I Basic Skills teacher and I use this book with all of my students. I teach several different grade levels and most of my students are reading way below grade level. My school/district has no prescribed curriculum for reading intervention, so I'm very glad I found this! Each section has a mini-lesson on a different reading skill, then a variety of passages at different reading levels to practice the skill. I can give my students passages that are right on their level, then I can "graduate" them to the harder ones. I also use the grades 4-5 version, Hi-Lo Nonfiction Passages for Struggling Readers: Grades 4-5: 80 High-Interest/Low-Readability Passages With Comprehension Questions and Mini-Lessons for Teaching Key Reading Strategies, to start off my lower readers. Each passage has comprehension questions, vocabulary practice, word study, and even a writing activity to go along with it. In addition, I use it for fluency and accuracy practice. That covers pretty much every aspect of literacy that students might struggle with! These books have been a life saver for me!
As a teacher I'm always looking for supplemented activities, to reinforce language arts skills. This book not only has helped my students with reinforcing comprehension skills but has also given them great activities that not only follow up with what has been read but also personalizes the reading of the passages.
I teach 6-8 far below basic students, and these help teach grade level skills at their level. I also have the blue one and that helps with my kids who are way way low. The kids don't feel like they are reading "baby books," and I don't feel like I'm teaching first grade all over again... This book is worth every penny!
This is great for teaching language arts with text. I do not teach reading, so I can't always get language assignments that align with text without having me cover too many reading standards than I need. There are comprehension questions, but they are not overkill for what I need. These would be great for teachers who teach reading and ELA combined also. I actually use this book for an advanced 4th grade class, and they do well with it. The writing assignments are actually really horrible though. They do not align with common core because they are not text dependent. I just have students ignore the writing prompts in the book, and I create my own to go with the passages in this book.
The nonfiction text is interesting, short, and covers many of the common core. A great supplement to textbooks. Reading levels are perfect for middle school students.
The readings are good, but short. However, the comprehension questions and other skill practices are good. I use it as homework for my ESL students.
Using this in 5th grade and it is interesting for the kids as well as a good review for important skills needed for state testing.
This book helped make difficult passages that where difficult in the past easier for my daughter who is now in the 8th grade, and has struggled with reading since third grade. She is able to pick out hints in the passages to enable her to select the correct answers.
