Reasoning and Reading
by Joanne Carlisle
Grades 3–8
These workbooks develop
basic language and thinking skills that build the foundation for reading comprehension.
Exercises reinforce reading as a critical reasoning activity. Many exercises encourage
students to come up with their own response in instances where there is no single
correct answer. In other cases, exercises lend themselves to students working
collaboratively to see how many different answers satisfy a question.
All the books in the series share
the following format:
Unit I, Word Meaning: comparing, contrasting, and classifying words, and discriminating between good and vague
definitions
Unit II, Sentence Meaning: complete
sentences, recognizing the main thought, as well as time order, cause and effect, comparison, generalizations, and examples
Unit III, Paragraph Meaning: topic
sentences, signal words, unity, examples, and support for the main idea
Unit IV, Reasoning Skills: fact
and opinion, relevance, syllogisms, and inferences
