Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: These are very short passages with 1-4 comprehension questions for each. I am rating it 5 stars because this is a great resource to use when you are first showing students how a skill may look like on an assessment. There is typically not a lot of "digging" that needs to happen with these stories when answering the comprehension questions. For most questions you are able to go back into the passage and underline/highlight exactly what has helped you answer the question. They're graspable even for your below level readers as well because they're so short. Children aren't exhausted by the time they finish the passage. I will be using these whole group to introduce different comprehension skills, as independent spiral review, and homework. Review: Boas leituras para alunos mais crescidos. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 467,119 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 13,991 in Education Studies & Teaching Resources | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (709) | | Dimensions | 20.96 x 0.64 x 26.67 cm | | Grade level | Pre-school and up | | ISBN-10 | 0545460530 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0545460538 | | Item weight | 136 g | | Language | English | | Part of series | Comprehension Skills | | Print length | 48 pages | | Publication date | 1 May 2012 | | Publisher | Scholastic Teaching Resources | | Reading age | 7 years and up | ## Images ![Comprehension Skills: 40 Short Passages for Close Reading: Grade 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/415SEdlN1mL.jpg) ![Comprehension Skills: 40 Short Passages for Close Reading: Grade 2 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41HyLEs5j4L.jpg) ![Comprehension Skills: 40 Short Passages for Close Reading: Grade 2 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41MIr3kldaL.jpg) ![Comprehension Skills: 40 Short Passages for Close Reading: Grade 2 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41e3DlNaomL.jpg) ![Comprehension Skills: 40 Short Passages for Close Reading: Grade 2 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41hCV9bAtQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***M on 20 June 2015* These are very short passages with 1-4 comprehension questions for each.
