Reading skills are a must, and it doesn't have to be drudgery! We love the 200 Essential Reading Skills for Fifth Grade from Reading Eggs. This series of workbooks complement the fun, online Reading Eggs literacy program.
We have been using the online program for the past several years, and my girls BEG to do it! It is a fun way to expand their reading skills with access to comprehension, spelling and grammar skill, and over 2,000 ebooks - all in a dynamic program with built-in rewards. Check out one of our past reviews here.
What I want to show you today, is 200 Essential Reading Skills for Fifth Grade, a physical workbook designed to be used as a stand alone course, or with the online lessons.
It is a beautifully done, full color workbook that includes a full year of lessons in reading comprehension, spelling, and grammar.
It is designed with 5 days of short lessons, most only take 15-20 minutes, in a full 36 weeks year.
- Day 1: Comprehension
- Day 2: Comprehension
- Day 3: Spelling
- Day 4: Spelling
- Day 5: Grammar
Reviews are included every 9 weeks. Let me show you what a week looks like:
Days 1 & 2 are Reading Comprehension exercises. I really like that this program is teaching them to annotate right away. They are instructed to mark the text using color and shapes. This is the exact skill I teach to my high school students! Then, after they have marked and read, they answer multiple choice and short answer style questions.
Days 3 & 4 they tackle spelling. I really like that the program uses a variety of approaches. Not all of my students are great spellers and by using a variety of exercises, this program really appeals to my variety of learning styles. Copying and correcting the spelling mistakes really trains the visual learners, while word clues and context sentences put the words to real use.
Day 5 is all about grammar. They learn the vocabulary of grammar, and the rules of English. Several short exercises help them practice the skills.
Reviews are included every 9 weeks to reinforce what they have learned. The workbook contains a full answer key, and a helpful year planner, no need for an additional teacher guide.
