35 Reading Passages for Comprehension: Context Clues & Figurative Language: 35 Reading Passages for Comprehension

I tutor student from grades K-5. This book is helpful for students grades 3-5. I use this with my student to "KEY" them into reading and or listening to the "KEY " words of a passage. Kids are required to MEMORIZE SO MUCH these days that they don't have time to read or listen to a passage to digest a passage in what is best for their learning style. this book has been helpful for me because the passage are not extra long and we have time to discuss.

Utterly love it!It's a perfect complement in order to teach my English classes!

I used this book to help my son

I teach English to Italians and though the material I have is quite extensive one of the things that as ESL students they aren't always exposed to is this type of comprehension through serious interpretation. They concentrate on just each and every word with it's individual meaning and then hit blocks. It's typical of adult students.............however, I chose this to 'unblock' this. We learn it as native English speakers growing up, but it seems to get bypassed when teaching ESL. Looking forward to seeing the results I'm able to obtain with this!

I chose 5 stars for this purchase because it was exactly what it was advertised as, a valuable classroom asset, quick and easy to use. Great for second language learners and those behind 2 or more grades with skills. This book was $26 at two teacher resource stores near where I live and it was 10 to 12 $ cheaper through amazon.

I use this as one of the warm-up exercises for my grade 6 students. It's a great way to practice and get in the habit of using context clues to determine the meaning of unknown words and phrases.

Nice supplemental resource for skills based learning. I will be using it for students who are working below grade level, but could be used on grade level as well.

I'm using it Whole Group as a teaching tool before giving them a quick assessment. I have above average 3rd graders, and they are understanding the concepts.
