Reading Milestones Workbooks

In this fourth edition, the Workbook activities, which were provided in individual, consumable workbooks in previous editions, are provided as reproducible worksheet pages that can be printed as needed for your students' use.



Workbook activities are based on schema theory and designed to emphasize the development of comprehension. Tasks are constructed to develop literal comprehension, inferential comprehension, and the solving of problems. A variety of procedures are used: semantic maps, semantic feature analyses, story maps, word maps, and word analogies. Other tasks include:

matching print and pictures

classification

sequencing

story structure

phonological awareness activities

The Reading Milestones Workbook pages provide activities that serve as reinforcement and practice for the skills the teacher has taught through direct instruction during the reading period. The tasks become progressively more sophisticated as the students advance in the levels and provide reinforcement of basic literacy and comprehension skills.
