Boost Reading and Language Arts Scores for the GED Test and HiSET Exam
Build the reading and literacy skills needed to succeed on the most current GED test and the HiSET exam with a clear, strategy based approach to reading comprehension. This book helps students learn how to break down any text to understand the author’s meaning, purpose, and message with confidence.
Lessons guide students to connect new ideas to familiar concepts and apply purpose driven reading strategies to approach texts efficiently. Practice questions allow students to try each strategy, then check their work to build accuracy and understanding.
All lessons are aligned with Common Core and College and Career Readiness Standards and focus on developing vocabulary, identifying central ideas, analyzing arguments, and understanding literary conventions such as structure, tone, and point of view. Students work with a wide range of texts, including science and social studies passages, as well as fiction and nonfiction selections similar to those found on the exam.
With 36 complete lessons across 380 pages, this book works well for classroom instruction, tutoring programs, or independent study. Graphic organizers and visual reminders are used throughout to support comprehension and help students manage complex reading tasks.
