Publisher's Synopsis
This new instructional strategy unites cross-age tutoring, co-operative learning, reading aloud, and higher-level thinking skills through a dual-level reading format. Each story has two distinct levels, primary and intermediate, and is designed to be read aloud by two students. The timeless stories retain the high quality original language and have illustrations that help build meaning. Enriched by many integrated whole-language activities, research into this classroom-tested approach to reading shows significant increases in students' vocabulary, comprehension, and reading interest. Includes The Bremen Town Musicians, Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, Beauty and the Beast, and The Great Flood of Canyonridge Forest Student Books and Book Buddy's Guides with rights to copy classroom quantities, teacher's guide, poster, and 15-minute video.
