Synopsis
The first in a three-book series, The Skilled Reader offers students step-by-step reading instruction, a wide range of practice and test materials, and a rich selection of readings from textbooks and other sources. The Skilled Reader covers all the core topics at the 6th-9th grade level of developmental reading, mostly geared to reading paragraphs: vocabulary development, location of main ideas, supporting details, outlines and concept maps, implied main ideas, transition words and patterns of organization, the reading process, and critical reading (inferences, purpose and tone, fact and opinion). In Part I, discrete skill instruction allows students to progress one step at a time. Each skill is introduced with sections headed "Example" and "Explanation." Then the students "Practice" the skill they've learned. These headings provide obvious clues to the structure of the chapter. Numerous practices, review and application sets, review tests, and mastery tests in each chapter provide teachers and students with extensive assessment materials. Each chapter concludes with a chapter summary, three to four Applications, six Review Tests, and eight Mastery Tests.
All practice materials are formatted for easy grading. Ten additional readings in Part II (from both textbook and non-textbook sources) are accompanied by an extensive apparatus, with questions on all of the reading skills (main idea, patterns of organization, vocabulary, supporting details, inferences, and so on) for each individual reading. Fifteen additional combined-skills tests are provided in Part III. Part IV includes an appendix of word parts, along with an introduction to critical reading: purpose and tone, fact and opinion, figurative language, and reading graphic material"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
