The 100+ Series Theme-Based Reading Comprehension, Grade 3

With the increased focus on literacy in the classroom, it is more important than ever to provide students with interesting reading activities. The reading activities in Theme-Based Reading Comprehension help develop students' phonemic awareness, phonics skills, 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. Use the pages located within each theme as a unit or individually at different times throughout your school year. The themes are based on languages arts, math, social studies, science, and arts topics from the appropriate grade level. The activities within each unit reinforce comprehension skills such as finding the main idea, summarizing, inferencing, cloze procedure, compare and contrast, sequencing, cause and effect, story elements, classification, and more. The activities include a variety of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, and long answer questions. A standards correlation chart and pre- and posttest are included to help assess the progress of your students.
