Vocabulary Development is a time-saving resource filled with instructional ideas and activities. Focusing on skills that are mandated by national standards, the diverse activities reinforce material in which children have received classroom instruction. Pre-assessment activities serve as a placement test. Over 50 diverse activities accommodate different learning styles and reflect formats that students will encounter on tests. Age-appropriate nonfiction text delivers content correlated to third-grade curricula. Each skill is covered in a dedicated section, with teaching tips, reproducible activities, and a post-assessment page. Skill definitions, clear directions, and examples allow students to work independently.

Comprehensive Literacy offers a range of curriculum-correlated activities to help learners master a wide range of reading and writing skills, from vocabulary, to grammar, to sequencing. Valuable pre- and post-assessments aid teachers in individualizing instruction, diagnosing the areas where students are struggling, and measuring achievement, and support standards.
