Why
were people in Salem, Massachusetts, accused of being witches in the 1690s? How
were books made before the printing press was invented? Why was DDT, a popular
pesticide, banned in the United States? These are some of the questions answered
in this three-book, reading-comprehension series.
People, places, and events from around the world and from ancient to modern times
provide the subjects for 15 new and interesting stories in each book. The books
can be used in many ways—as part of the reading and social studies curriculum
in regular, remedial, and second-language classes as well as with home-school
instruction. The clear directions allow students to work independently or in
a group. By broadening students’ general knowledge of the world through
its reading selections and by developing their understanding, thinking, and writing
skills through its exercises, this series prepares students well for standardized
or other kinds of tests.
