The questions have been carefully constructed to test all the key skills in understanding what we read such as detecting the sequence, getting the main idea, identifying facts, making inferences, and more. Each lesson is normed by ability level. The teacher can quickly see how well the student comprehends in relationship to his grade level. This invaluable tool will help you evaluate reading ability, teach comprehension techniques, chart individual student progress, and improve standardized test scores.

	Introduction to Reading Comprehension The Comprehension Connection: User's Guide with Passage Analysis and Answer Keys Teaching reading comprehension begins with instruction in passage structure and the mental actions necessary for comprehending new information. One of the best ways to teach this is to start with listening comprehension where the child can focus on these processes rather than on decoding. We start with McCall-Harby and have students learn to think and reason about ideas and information. When these skills have become automatic, the child then practices using them in the reading context with either the remaining passages in this book or with McCall-Crabbs Book A. Soon the student will be applying these same techniques when reading in science, math, social studies, and other content areas. This User's Guide includes instruction about passage structure, the five mental actions, and other considerations to be made when working on reading comprehension with your students. It also includes specific passage analysis and answer keys for every entry in McCall-Harby and McCall-Crabbs Book A. Because of the passage analysis information included, these books are a great resource for beginning writing activities as found in the curricula offered by The Institute for Excellence in Writing.
