Most of us spend a good deal of our lives “reading for information”. Your students will, too. This new set of binders will give them the practice they need to approach written material with confidence. What is it that best builds confidence? Repeated success. 50 two-page lessons in each binder (a one-page article and a one-page follow-up worksheet). There is a highutility table of contents that can be used as a scope and sequence. No teacher preparation is required with this pick-and-choose format. The lessons may also be used for homework. Each binder includes answer keys. For students nearly every activity contains a lively illustration and easy-to-follow instructions.
