Nobody’s sharper than Marko the Pencil when it comes to helping students learn to read for meaning and prepare for tests. His tips are super effective and his outrageous antics keep students on task. With Marko’s guidance, students ace a practice test by learning how to read passages, find key words, and determine the best answers. Students stay calm and relaxed knowing they have the tools they need to succeed!

A team of teachers—who consistently get superior performance from their students on standardized tests—helped create this DVD. They carefully examined reading tests in several states to identify winning strategies for boosting scores and reducing anxiety.

Let’s face it: preparing for state-mandated tests is not a favorite activity of teachers and students. But there’s no reason it can’t be fun when you have an entertaining character—one who knows exactly how to connect with kids. That’s why we’re so pleased to have Vic Mignogna playing the voice of Marko the Pencil. Vic is well known for his award-winning acting in anime cartoons and video games. Vic won Best Actor, 2007 American Anime Awards.

As a special reward at the end of Reading Comprehension, Marko makes an appearance at the Golden Stylus Comedy room to show just how sharp he can be! His kid-friendly jokes will have everyone laughing. Kids love telling jokes to others, and Marko has some of the best school-related jokes on the planet.

Included with Reading Comprehension, you get Marko’s cool website where you can download a practice test and answer key, learn more tips for doing well on standardized tests, and check out other helpful tools for scoring high on a reading test.

Reading Comprehension includes:

• Reading Comprehension
• Identifying the Main Idea
• Using Context Clues
• Making Inferences
• Recalling Details and Sequencing
• Drawing Conclusions
• Following Directions
• Mastering Standardized Tests
• Bonus: Marko’s Jokes at the Golden Stylus Comedy Room

Teachers Choice Award Teacher's Choice Award 2010

  • Develops student mastery of key concepts and skills
  • Includes focused instructional and practice activities
  • Includes standards & benchmarks
  • Features English and Spanish CD-ROMs with parent-support materials
  • Great for pull-out, after-school, special education, and summer-school programs!


Can you imagine how wonderful it would be if the students in your classroom could acquire the skills they need to be ready for on-grade instruction? This series of books is designed to do just that!

Based on standards from all the national organizations and several states, the authors have determined the top prerequisite skills that a student going into a certain grade level should have to be successful in that grade. They have designed lessons based on the findings of leading educational researchers. And they have developed a practical, teacher-tested system for preparing students to master the content that states require them to know.

Each book in the Essential Skills series is full of straightforward lessons and activities to activate students' prior knowledge of a particular skill. Upon successful completion, students will be ready for on-grade instruction that builds upon that skill. You can teach your curriculum, confident that all your students are ready to learn it.

If students lack some skills they need, additional PAL Packets are available on the CDs that come with the books. These Parent-Assisted Learning activities help students catch up with the rest of the class. The PAL activities are provided in both English and Spanish.

Teachers have found this series to be very helpful at various times of the school year.

  • Some teachers use the lessons at the beginning of the year to review important skills.
  • Some teachers use the lessons throughout the year to introduce topics as they come up in their scope and sequence.
  • Some teachers use the Essential Skills books for the next grade level following their state test as a way to prepare their students for the following school year.

In all of these situations, teachers have found the Essential Skills series to be helpful in building students' knowledge and preparing them to master the content that the states require students to know.

I am a stay at home mom who values education very much, and these resources have been able to help me start my child's education early in order to give her a head start before she even enters into school. - Heather L.

The resources I received will help me tremendously with reading skills. I was amazed at how quickly I received my order. - Annette H.

My son needed some additional work with his fine motor skills to prepare him for Kindergarten next year. We work out of the books I ordered. He does his "homework" when my older son is completing his after school. He loves it! It makes him feel like a big boy. I was amazed that my order arrived two days after I placed it, especially because it was the Holiday season. - Dawn M.

I purchased the full color Kindergarten file folder games, and my students love them. We use them daily during our literacy groups. Your service was great! - Cindy M.

They provide a variety of ways to reach different students and allow me to vary my activities year-to-year. - Staci M.

I have used all the materials with my Kdg. class and found them to be so appropriate. The children enjoy them. - Jennifer C.
