Review: Great content, bad title :) - The book itself is exactly what I needed for my 4th grader that needs work on reading comprehension and he was intrigued by the topics of the passages, so he’s looking forward to reading them (which is awesome!!!). My only complaint is with the title. I hate that every time my son goes to get the book, he sees that he is a “struggling” reader. It’s a reminder that he needs extra help, and I think that can be deflating to his confidence. I wish they would have used that term in the description instead of the title, where it’s seen every time the book is opened. I actually added some Avery labels to it and wrote “super-cool” so that his confidence is boosted each time he opens the book to work on his reading. So that is my only negative. Otherwise, an excellent purchase that is sure to help with reading comprehension! Review: Great for intervention groups - I am using the passages from this book for my higher intervention group to work on comprehension, vocabulary and word work in conjunction with a phonics instruction program. So far, my students really like the story subjects and are doing well with completing them with the assistance of my paraprofessional while I work with another group. ## Features - Sold Individually - Short name: Bk Hi-Lo Nonfiction Passages - Scholastic Brand of Products - Typical Use: Instructional Materials / Language Arts / Readers - Grade Level: Early Childhood-Elementary ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #72,688 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #181 in Education (Books) #359 in Early Childhood Education Materials #562 in Instruction Methods | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 392 Reviews | ## Images ![Hi-Lo Nonfiction Passages for Struggling Readers: Grades 4–5: 80 High-Interest/Low-Readability Passages With Comprehension Questions and Mini-Lessons for Teaching Key Reading Strategies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81j4fzbebfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great content, bad title :) *by J***R on October 14, 2018* The book itself is exactly what I needed for my 4th grader that needs work on reading comprehension and he was intrigued by the topics of the passages, so he’s looking forward to reading them (which is awesome!!!).
