Bring the Classics to Life!
Reading Comprehension Workbooks
Each novel has been adapted into 10 short chapters that will excite reluctant readers as well as enthusiastic ones. Key words are defined and used in context. Multiple-choice questions require the student to recall specific details, sequence the events, draw inferences from story context, develop another name for the chapter and choose the main idea. Your student will embrace the notion of Crusoe's lonely reflections, the psychological reactions of a Civil War soldier at Chancellorsville and the tragedy of the Jacobite Cause in 18th Century Scotland. In our society, knowledge of these Classics is a cultural necessity. Each workbook may be used on a consumable basis or reproduced for multiple usage.
