Readng Comp, Erc Mrc Reading Comprehension, Workbook, Book 1

Specifically targeted to grades 3 through 8, the Reading Comprehension series helps students who need more practice in reading comprehension skills. Each book contains 25 selections and has the same format as other books in the Reading Comprehension series, with selections on social studies, science, literature and language, philosophy, logic and mathematics, the arts, and combined subjects. Exercises develop student skills in finding the main idea, identifying facts, following sequences, drawing conclusions, and making assumptions. The books also contain a new writing component that gives students practice in writing a short paragraph as well as a longer piece that gives their interpretation or opinion of a question related to the selection.
