Reading Comprehension Success

The author provides the complete toolset essential for reading comprehension. For example, the author shows exactly what a "main idea" is, provides definitions and examples, provides hands-on practice and tests reader understanding, and then ties several related tool-skills together in a later review chapter with further integrated practice materials. This sensible approach was missing or lacking in every other book I read; the first grade reading comprehension books I browsed at the bookstore were more helpful than those books. I have been out of formal education for many years and I read several top-brand books trying to get solid help. None of those books were nearly as helpful as this one book. In fact, (Elizabeth L. Tesla) the author's series of books is a must for every personal reference book shelf- even appropriate for younger children. This one book answers all of the questions and solves all of the problems related to reading, but the author also points out correctly that a reader must practice in everyday situations by reading a variety of materials and applying the tools in this book. Reading is a lifelong enjoyment and acquired skill. Buy this book and then practice, practice, practice.

Finally! I was having a problem with reading comprehension. I was having a hard time with my homework, and also preparing for English tests. This book really breaks down the best way to understand what you read. All the practice really helps too!

This book is great, it boosted my SAT score by 100 points. I benefitted a lot from the contents and it gives you great practice. I suggest you buy the book for test prep. The book does exactly what it says on the cover.
