Really good
I love this so far, I really wish the articles were color but other than that they are good. Mostly high interest topics. Love the variety of text levels. Highly recommend for upper el struggling readers.

Great content, bad title 🙂
The book itself is exactly what I needed for my 4th grader that needs work on reading comprehension and he was intrigued by the topics of the passages, so heâs looking forward to reading them (which is awesome!!!). My only complaint is with the title. I hate that every time my son goes to get the book, he sees that he is a âstrugglingâ reader. Itâs a reminder that he needs extra help, and I think that can be deflating to his confidence. I wish they would have used that term in the description instead of the title, where itâs seen every time the book is opened. I actually added some Avery labels to it and wrote âsuper-coolâ so that his confidence is boosted each time he opens the book to work on his reading. So that is my only negative. Otherwise, an excellent purchase that is sure to help with reading comprehension!

Great for intervention groups
I am using the passages from this book for my higher intervention group to work on comprehension, vocabulary and word work in conjunction with a phonics instruction program. So far, my students really like the story subjects and are doing well with completing them with the assistance of my paraprofessional while I work with another group.

Good for third graders even though it says grade 4
Book is great because it matches passages to reading strategies but the passages are too easy for typical 4th graders. However, very useful for small group resource-room type lessons. Would recommend for 3rd grade teachers not 4th but overall the book is useful mostly because the passages are short- can be used for the duration of a one period class.

Great resource and well worth the money!
This is a great resource for my kiddos! I teach 3rd grade and the passages are very high interest. I love how each story has comprehension questions, vocabulary, phonics and a writing extension. I would highly recommend this product!

amazing reading resource
I bought this resource as recommended by a co-worker. I use it for small group reading intervention. I love that it covers all of the reading standards. Each passage is broken down by reading level. Each lesson has high interest topics. Each lesson also has a comprehension check, vocabulary, phonics and writing. Amazing Scholastic product. This passage goes as low as 1.5 and up to 5.0.

Non Fiction Stories with Comprehension and Vocabulary Review
I have looked over this book and I really like how it is set up. The review information including vocabulary is a plus, so many assume our children know the meaning of some of the words even reading within the text. Nice size parent key information.

This book is good. But it does not contain much of exercise for 8yrs child to do. Very expensive.

I like it, ready to use and well written

I am disappointed that many of the pages and ‘fill in the blanks’ have been written on already. There was also a class photo left in the book and sticky notes.
