Description

These workbooks are designed to enhance basic language and thinking skills, laying the groundwork for improved reading comprehension. Exercises emphasize the importance of reading as a critical reasoning activity, with many requiring students to generate their own responses where no single correct answer exists. In some cases, the exercises are conducive to collaborative work, allowing students to explore multiple valid answers to a question.



The series is uniformly structured across all books, comprising four units:




  • Unit I, Word Meaning: This unit focuses on comparing, contrasting, and classifying words, as well as distinguishing between precise and vague definitions.

  • Unit II, Sentence Meaning: Exercises cover complete sentences, identifying the main thought, and understanding concepts such as time order, cause and effect, comparison, generalizations, and examples.

  • Unit III, Paragraph Meaning: Topics include identifying topic sentences, signal words, unity, examples, and supporting the main idea.

  • Unit IV, Reasoning Skills: This unit deals with distinguishing between fact and opinion, assessing relevance, understanding syllogisms, and making inferences.



These workbooks are suitable for students in grades 7-8 and contain 133 pages of exercises and activities.
