35 Reading Passages for Comprehension: Main Ideas & Summarizing

good book in my opinion, now I only have to figure out how to get my child to use it

Greta worksheet that the student finds challenging yet achievable. Excellent.

I teach 6th grade and bought this book to use as a quick daily skill builder at the beginning of reading class. I also have other books in the series. Each week, we focus on one of the concepts (there are two concepts per book) and I give my class an exercise from that concept each day. They are quick and easy, but effective in developing important reading skills for non-fiction passages. The passages are well written and interesting. My students enjoy reading them and we are all learning new information, vocabulary, and facts about a variety of topics.The only thing, I would like to change is the answer key. There are only answers for the multiple choice questions. It would be nice to have sample answers for the fill in questions. You can figure them out, but sample answers save time.I would recommend these to any busy teacher (or homeschooling parent) looking to practice important reading skills in a fun, easy, and effective way.

Great resource for adult literacy and K-12 resource teachers

I use this series of books to reinforce skills for my four kids during the summer months when they are not in school. The pages are simply and clearly laid out. Instructions are clear and simple. All ages of kids are able to work on these independently. I tear the answer pages out of the back of the books so I can check their work when they finish pages. The concepts are clearly explained and taught in concise interesting formats that the kids enjoy doing.I will continue to buy books from this series for my kids through the years.
