Opis

Pathfinder Reading teaches strategies for reading success. This reading series stimulates responsive strategizing in your students. Filled with reading passages of varying difficulty to allow for differentiated instruction, these books are designed to boost students' chances for success on reading tests. Each book is divided into two sections: 1. guided practice lessons with sample exercises and practice passages and questions 2. two practice tests for more extensive practice and assessment purposes In each chapter of the first section, the relevant skills are listed. Students are then presented with concepts related to the targeted skills, followed by detailed, guided instruction to better familiarize themselves with the required skills as well as relevant terminology and representative examples. They are then given four practice passages: - Passage 1: about half the length of a typical test passage and a little lower in readability; it will contain a few questions followed by very detailed explanations and instruction. - Passage 2: about half the length of a typical test passage and a little lower in readability; will contain a few questions followed by less detailed explanation/instruction. - Passage 3: the same length and readability as a typical test passage; the questions will be coupled with brief tips or hints. - Passage 4: the same length and reading level as a typical test passage; questions will not have tips or hints. Reading Comprehension A is written at a 3rd grade level, but ungraded for those students working below grade level.
