Children learn strategies that boost comprehension--with interactive activities that highlight clues in the text! Perfect for use on computers, SMART Boards and other interactive whiteboards, our language-lesson software includes 15 leveled, high-interest passages in five genres--from a mystery about a gold ring to the true story of Phillis Wheatley. Children can read each story independently...or they can follow along as the program narrates the text word for word. After reading, children answer three comprehension questions--they can even use the interactive pencil tool to underline key phrases as they work! Then when they're ready, kids just touch a button to highlight the clues that lead to the answers--for extra help and instant reinforcement. Each story even has a follow-up question to encourage further thinking or writing on the subject! CD-ROM comes complete with a printable assessment. For Mac/Win.
