Selecting details from the story helps you improve your reading skills.
Handling story elements helps you understand key elements of literature. On page 7 you will find the meanings of ten important terms. If you wish, look back at those meanings when you answer the questions in this section.
Observing new vocabulary words helps you strengthen your vocabulary skills. Often, you can figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues in the story. Those clues are the words and phrases around the unfamiliar word. The vocabulary words in the story are printed in boldface. If you wish, look back at these words before you answer the questions in this section.
Completing a cloze passage helps you strengthen your reading and your vocabulary skills through the use of fill-in, or cloze, exercises.
Knowing how to read critically helps you sharpen your critical thinking skills. You will reason by using story clues, making inferences (figuring things out), and drawing conclusions." (To the Student, p.5-6)
