Hi,

Steck-Vaughn has such a series.  It's called <<Comprehension Skills>>.
There are 5 levels and each level 6 booklets - one each for Facts, Sequence,
Main Idea, Context, Conclusion, and Inference.

I hope this helps.

Diane

I'm looking for a resource idea.

25 years ago when I taught in an Adult
Ed classroom we had a set of booklets that dealt with specific reading tasks
like Finding Details, Finding the Main Idea, Locating a Sequence. They read
a little story, then all of the questions were based on the specific skill
that booklet was working on. The booklets were about 60 pages, white, and
they were softcover stapled in the middle like a magazine as opposed to
being
perfect bound. I am pretty sure there was one of each type at each grade
level
and they were color coded.

My question: Does this still exist? I have no
clue who the publisher was, and this nifty vague description doesn't get us
too far. :) Does anyone have anything akin to this?

I'm trying to equip
the center with skill specific resources and have been out of the loop for
a l-o-n-g time. 

Thanks!
Jean Marrapodi
