The Specific Skill Series is a nonconsumable program designed to develop nine crucial reading skills:
Working Within Words
Following Directions
Using the Context
Locating the Answer
Getting the Facts
Getting the Main Idea
Drawing Conclusions
Detecting the Sequence
Identifying Inferences
"The material of the Specific Skill Series is, first, largely informative and factual. It is also fascinatingly unusual, attracting and holding the student's interest. It provides an amazing fund of singular information. The passages themselves are sufficiently brief to hold pupils with the most restricted attention span, yet diverse enough to appeal to students of varying ages, interests and abilities, by avoiding condescending juvenility, the series appeals to older studens as well as younger."
This is a great series and each exercise only takes a few minutes to complete. There are reproducible answer sheets in the TM. My son used this as a 3rd/4th grader.
From a nonsmoking home. $30 ppd. Prefer non cc Paypal.
