How do you differentiate between text types? How do you decipher unfamiliar words in stories? This volume provides you with a guide to answer these central questions for your students and to teach them the most important reading strategies for narrative texts. Each guide is available in two formats: as independent work and as partner or group work. For each reading strategy, there are several engaging narrative texts of varying difficulty levels that students can use to apply the reading strategies. Through a reading booklet as a portfolio, the strategies can be generalized and transferred. Selected tests will show you how well the reading strategies have been developed.
