Over the years, reading research has accumulated a wealth of evidence identifying the strong relationship between the extent of students’ vocabulary knowledge and their ability to comprehend what they have read as well as their overall academic success.

A variety of instructional methods can be found in this book including selecting vocabulary; effectively using children’s literature; reading aloud; applying Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS) and Total Physical Response (TPR); employing songs, rhymes, chants, and musical activities to help children imitate and remember language; and utilizing games as valuable teaching tools.

This teaching resource will help classroom teachers develop strategies, activities, and interventions that can be used throughout the day to make learning fun, promote receptive and expressive language, and help children achieve academic success.

Includes:

Classroom tips for supporting young English language learners
Overview of second language learning
Guide for selecting appropriate vocabulary words
Multitude of games that can be used with any vocabulary word list
Hundreds of games organized by themes

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
