Week-by-Week Homework for Building Reading Comprehension & Fluency: Grade 1

This book is being used for 1st grade homeschooling. Each lesson has a story that the child reads to the parent. A series of short questions follow that the parent and child discuss. The focus is strictly on building reading comprehension although some questions ask about punctuation as well. The stories become progressively longer and more complex as the child's reading level increases.Some lessons have questions with answer blanks that follow the story. Other lessons have additional blanks within the story for the child to fill in.Prior to each story is a chart connecting reading text from the story to each skill focus. This is great for homeschoolers or teachers to check off their essential skill list to make sure all standardized skills are being addressed.Just an FYI for homeschoolers, this is a 'reproducible' book. It is meant for teachers to photocopy for each child. If you are homeschooling, you could definitely write in the book if you want. There is no cutting or pasting that would damage the next lesson's text.

Just what we needed for Extra practice in reading

My son is 4 years old and is now able to read one whole page, using this book. Every lesson teaches them new words and it builds on the previous lesson. It is a very pedagogically sound book. Every lesson also works on a different aspect of reading comprehension. It is an amazing book. My son loves the stories and is motivated to read.

This is perfect for the hesitant, very beginning reader. This helps with confidence and repetition. Love this book. Would buy again.

I used this for some of my low readers at the start of second grade. It helped them gain more confidence as they went through the assignments until they were ready to tackle the next series. It is expected that the parents of first graders would help with the comprehension questions.

This book contains stories that get progressively longer and included more difficult words as the reader progresses. Thought provoking questions at the end of each story help train young minds to pay attention to what they are reading or seeing. I started my daughter with this book as a first grader. Now that she is a second grader, I have noticed that she has been able to correctly answer the comprehension questions I ask her on any other books she reads or even movies she watches.

Este libro me encantó. Tiene una serie de lecturas muy lindas que además se clasifican y detallan en características como # de palabras, identificación de palabras nuevas, así como una explicación clara y muy útil de la intencionalidad y dirección de enfoque en habilidades para cada lectura.Mi hijo ha disfrutado ampliamente las que hemos leído hasta ahorita. Excelente inversión. Buscaré pedir ya lo niveles siguientes.

I received this book today. When I opened it, I found that the cover had been put on wrong. I am disappointed because the cover helps keep the book together. You'd think that someone, at some point in the manufacturing, selecting, or packaging would have noticed that the book didn't look right. In addition to being put on backward, the glue isn't even holding it together.As for the content of the book itself, it seems to be good.

This is a good book. It is designed for a teacher to send home as home work, but I use it as a home school resource. The book tells you what the new sight words that will be learnt each week at the top of the page. (I made flash cards and we practiced the words first) then there are questions to be answered. The reading gets a little harder each week, but my son loves that he can finally read a story on his own. Really good for any grade 1 students or anyone just learning to read. :-)

Thank you Schollastic!

If you are looking to increase your child's fluency this is a good format. Confidence builder...easy to start, progressive.I wish they had more than just one for this grade level, i will likely move up to the next grade in order to maintain the consistency.
