The Outer Edge ™ builds on the success of Jamestown's popular Wide Side and Critical Reading series, enticing struggling readers with amazing, strange, and unbelievable nonfiction, now at a lower reading level. Comprehension questions reinforce literal understanding, while critical thinking questions encourage students to speculate about author's purpose, make inferences, identify cause and effect, support conclusions, and make predictions. Best of all, this program is designed to reinforce state reading standards for your most struggling readers.
