Bring the Classics to Life Readers

High Interest/Low Readability

These low-readability novels will excite the reluctant reader as well as the enthusiastic one. They have been adapted into 10 short chapters in workbook format. Key words are defined and used in context. Multiple-choice questions require the student to recall specific details, sequence the events, draw inferences from story context, develop another name for the chapter and choose the main idea. Let the Classics introduce Kipling, Stevenson, and H.G. Wells. Your students will embrace the notion of Crusoe's lonely reflections, the psychological reactions of a Civil War soldier at Chancellorsville, and the tragedy of the Jacobite Cause in 18th Century Scotland. In our society, knowledge of these Classics is a cultural necessity. These novels improve fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.

Each workbook may be used on a consumable basis or reproduced for multiple usages.
