Scholastic Short Reads

 
Short Reads Nonfiction Boxes give students practice reading and understanding complex, informational texts encountered every day. Based on close reading (investigating a short text several times for different purposes), the Teacher’s Guide steps you through four distinct steps:
 
PREPARE AND READ: brief questioning to establish a context for reading
READ CLOSELY: questions for comprehension, vocabulary, text features and higher-order thinking skills
DISCUSS: prompts for peer discussion
WRITE: two tasks that involve explanation and opinion responses to the text.

With five levels to choose from, everyone from beginner readers to advanced readers is catered for.
