Great Skill Builder
I teach 6th grade and bought this book to use as a quick daily skill builder at the beginning of reading class. I also have other books in the series. Each week, we focus on one of the concepts (there are two concepts per book) and I give my class an exercise from that concept each day. They are quick and easy, but effective in developing important reading skills for non-fiction passages. The passages are well written and interesting. My students enjoy reading them and we are all learning new information, vocabulary, and facts about a variety of topics. The only thing, I would like to change is the answer key. There are only answers for the multiple choice questions. It would be nice to have sample answers for the fill in questions. You can figure them out, but sample answers save time. I would recommend these to any busy teacher (or homeschooling parent) looking to practice important reading skills in a fun, easy, and effective way.

Catch a Main Idea
Great practice book for students who need work locating the main ideas and supporting details. Also, good practice for learning how to summarize. Good for grades 3-6 depending on student.

Main Idea and Summarizing
I am a school librarian and I have found this book to be very useful at the beginning of a class when I take attendance,in the middle of my class when some students are selecting books, or as a filler at the end of a class. The reading passages are short enough to fit on a smartboard so you don't have to waste paper by photocopying. Although I have used the multiple-choice questions, I find it much better to just ask the students to write down the main idea and details to support the main idea. I have found that the students really like the reading passages.
