Books with author Linda Piazza

We read every day. We read books, poems, assignments, lists, signs, directions, recipes, letters, and more. To face a world of print, students must read critically and for meaning. A variety of formats in this book offers the practice students need to build important reading skills. Drawing conclusions, identifying the main idea, examining the writer's purpose, mapping story elements, building vocabulary, and determining fact or opinion are among the many reading skills covered.

Amazing, interesting, and fun-filled facts are among the building blocks used in the development of these high-interest readings that apply to the everyday lives of students. The wide range of readings and activities were designed to strengthen student comprehension skills that include following directions, drawing conclusions, visualizing, summarizing, sequencing, categorizing, using context clues, and Venn diagrams. A great supplement to your classroom reading curriculum. Reproducible. 128 perforated pages.
