Reading for Understanding B
for ages 10-13 (reading ages 8-14)

This programme is designed to improve thinking and examination results.
This up-to-date inferential programme contains 3000 systematic practice exercises in 100 levels of difficulty.

Thought-provoking statements on each Exercise Card challenge students to read carefully, consider alternatives, and analyse ideas.
Includes critical-thinking skills, predicting outcomes, making inferences, drawing conclusions, comparing and contrasting, using cause and effect, and distinguishing specific from general.

Pupils work at their own rate moving forward as fast and as far as each is able. Use of this programme helps pupils with a better understanding of material in all curriculum areas.

Outstanding Concentration Builder.
This comprehension programme can be used to enrich any reading programme. It asks pupils to read a passage, then choose the best of four alternative completions using critical thinking/reasoning skills.

The best answer is implied, not stated, hence pupils are challenged to analyse ideas and make valid inferences. Judgement and logic are excercised - not just recall.

Components:
300 Exercise Cards, 2 Answer Key Booklets, 20 Student Record Books, 1 copy of Placement Tests A and B and a Teacher's Handbook.

Reading for Understanding C
for ages 14-adult (reading ages 11 - 17)

Excellent mind-sharpener for Exams.
This programme has similar components to Level B but is used for developing and refining higher order thinking and reasoning skills. Outstanding for clarity of interpretation.
