Leveled Reading: Realistic Fiction by Jasinski, Diane - 2009

Steck-Vaughn. New with no dust jacket. 2009. Paperback. Leveled Reading; 96 pages; Each of the books in this series offers a selection of carefully leveled passages within a specific genre to supplement learning. These selections (at least most of them) appeared earlier in the Pair-it Books. But the selections in these books are not paired. To make pairs you'd have to buy all of the books. But if you already have the Pair-it Books, you could use these to supplement with the included comprehension exercises not contained in the Pair-it Books. The books in this series offer high-interest topics; exercises to build vocabulary, writing, critical thinking, and comprehension skills; and multiple reading levels in each book. Illustrations are in black and white and the pages are all reproducible for classroom use. Each selection is followed by three activity pages: one with reading comprehension questions, one with vocabulary exercises, and one with a critical thinking activity. <P> This book includes these selections which appeared as Pair-it Books: Whistle Like a Bird; Benny's School Trip; I Can be Anything; A Penny Changes the Day; Nana's Kitchen; The Around-the-World Lunch; The Missing Pet; A Gift to Share; My Prairie Summer; Milo's Great Invention; The School Mural; Diary of a Pioneer Boy; and The Grand Canyon Doesn't Scare Me.
