MomN Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I am looking for a workbook for a student I tutor who is entering Freshman Honors English. I'm not worried about it being "Honors" but I want to work on reading comprehension - short, hard passages and then comprehension questions and/or short answers. Anyone know of a workbook like this? Thanks, Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJlovesJesus Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I don't know about workbooks, but you could look at these sites: readworks.org is general passages at a variety of grade levels with questions newsela.com for current events sciencenewsforstudents.org for science (look for the feature articles that have accompanying before, during, and after reading questions) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourisenough Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Maybe something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Reader-Fourth-Complete-Reading/dp/173358952X/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=meltzer+act+reading+books&qid=1595838753&sr=8-5 Other than test prep books, I can’t think of a reading comprehension workbook written at the high school level. The Reading Detective series from the Critical Thinking Company would be my pick for middle school age/level, but even their B2 book would be below honors 9th grade level, I’m afraid.

EKS Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I'd use SAT/ACT/GRE prep books. But be sure not to use official practice tests or books with official practice tests in them because there a limited number of those out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomN Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 These are great! Thank you! I really like The Reading Detective series! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
