Basic Skills Summarizing, Grades 5 to 6: Focusing on Main Ideas and Details and Restating in Concise Form Paperback – January 15, 2001

My daughter has some learning difficulties in reading and this book, with her tutor helping her , has helped her come along way. She has attention span issues so the works in this book were short enough and engaging enough for her to get practice in summarizing

I've been using this line of workbooks for my kids for a couple of years now. I like that the workbooks each focus on a different skill, and the lessons aren't carbon copies of each other. The reading passages come in many different formats, from stories to letters to advertisements and even some comic strips.

Delivered on time and as described. I am a speech pathologist and use this series with some of my students. This is not a complete intervention program but I like this whole series for students who need a bit of extra help with reading or listening comprehension. You can target Summarizing, Main Idea, or Inferencing or Story Elements. I have the 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 age ranges so that I can adjust to my students needs.
