Essentials Reader Teacher's Guide

The Essentials Reader Teacher’s Guide provides all the instructions needed to teach reading comprehension skills such as summarizing, inferring, predicting, analyzing and evaluating.

Intended to be used in conjunction with the Essentials Reader, the Essentials Reader Teacher’s Guide prepares students for academic reading and writing through:

• Pre-reading
• Post-reading
• Cross-curricular activities
• Composition 

Experts have designed this guide to be used after each corresponding Essentials unit is taught. This helps students reinforce their knowledge of phonograms and spelling rules while learning vocabulary and decoding skills.
