One of our classic best-sellers, Goodman’s Five-Star
Stories, supplements
any literature curriculum or stands on its own by providing interesting fiction
at just the right reading levels. Adapted well-known short stories by traditional
authors and newer multicultural authors entice even struggling readers with
tales of adventure and surprise. Vocabulary in context, cloze passages, and
critical-thinking exercises help readers improve their understanding of the
narrative text. Instruction in story and literary elements improve analytical
skills, while open-ended response activities after every selection encourage
students to write in response to reading. Students are able to visualize
their progress with charts and graphs included in each student book.
