	Read below grade level Don’t comprehend well Rarely choose to read Perform poorly on tests




	Try these ideas for using The Outer Edge, The Wild Side, and Critical Reading in your class: All three series have the same instructional design. Only the readability levels differ. Divide students up into three groups and assign titles based on student need. Let students choose the books that interest them most. Encourage them to do Internet research to find out more about a selection topic. Allow students to build confidence by gradually increasing the reading level of their assignments. Each book is divided into three readability levels by units. Have students read the first unit of each book, and then progress to the second unit of each book and so on.

Critical Reading

Reading Levels 6-8, Interest Levels 6-12

Critical Reading, a perennial favorite for middle school and high school students of all ability levels, fascinates with astounding and intriguing stories of real-life adventure. Comprehension questions reinforce literal understanding, while critical-thinking questions encourage students to consider the author’s purpose, make inferences, identify cause and effect, and make predictions. The selections in the Critical Reading series are at the highest level of readability in our series offerings which also include The Outer Edge, The Wild Side and Above and Beyond. All four series follow the same format, but each covers a different range of reading levels. The entire series is designed to reinforce state reading standards.
