For over 25 years, this program from Barnell Loft has been proven to successfully build comprehension skills. The Specific Skill Series increases the proficiency of all students in all skill areas, although it works especially well for remedial instruction. This series includes reading selections and contemporary artwork which build 9 essential skills: Working Within Words, Using the Context, Getting the Facts, Drawing Conclusions, Identifying Inferences, Following Directions, Locating the Answer, Getting the Main Idea, and Detecting the Sequence. There is one book per skill and each skill is developed through these individual books tailored for each reading level. The combination of short reading passages selected to capture student interest, followed by consistently formatted exercise questions, promotes rapid skill acquisition. This series has a proven record of success for regular, below-level, and at risk students, and provides opportunities for individualized learning. Can be used one-on-one, in small groups, or with your entire class.c
