These reading activities should help develop students' fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. This book has been written thematically. The use of themes increases reading comprehension skills by focusing students' attention on one subject rather than having to adjust their thoughts to several. The activities reinforce comprehension skills such as finding the main idea, summarizing, inferencing, comparing and contrasting, sequencing, and cause and effect. The activities include a variety of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, and long answer questions.
