Reading for Children: Reading Comprehension

What good is eating ice cream if you can't taste it? That's the analogy used in this video to illustrate how useless and boring reading would be without comprehension. Part of the six-volume series Reading for Children, in which three 'tween-aged radio show hosts--under the guidance of a cool young adult advisor--learn reading strategies and later share their knowledge on a radio show called “Cover 2 Cover,” Reading Comprehension follows the trio as they learn lots of practical, easy-to-remember techniques for choosing books to read for school and fun, staying organized while reading, and remembering and retelling content. It's amazing how a potentially deadly dull topic is marvelously transformed here into an entertaining adventure, thanks to a creative presentation, great acting, and cool tips, tricks, and tactics that really will help make reading fun instead of frustrating. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice. [Note: the other titles in the series are: How a Book Is Made, Identifying Letters & Sounds, Identifying Words, Reading Aloud, and Reading Fiction & Nonfiction.] Aud: E, I, J. (E. Gieschen)
