505			_a"Young people and adults alike have long been fascinated by monsters. The term monster encompasses an array of ghastly creatures from legendary and mythical entities such as the Cyclops and Count Dracula to movie space creatures with green skin and enigmas such as the Loch Ness Monster. Monsters have appeared in the folklore of peoples all over the world for thousands of years, and in literature, drama, art, and movies. The grisly and the horrible seem to attract just about everyone. Monsters helps you to capitalize on this interest by providing stories about some of the world's most famous monsters to guide your students in the development of their critical reading skills.
505			_aMonsters provides interesting subject matter for thoughtful interpretation and exciting discussion, while challenging your students in four critical reading categories: main idea, important details, inferences, and vocabulary in context. Monsters can also help your students to improve their reading rates. Timing of the selections is optional, but many teachers find it an effective motivating device.
505			_aMonsters consists of twenty-one units divided into three groups of seven units each. All the stories in a group are on the same reading level. Group One is at the sixth-grade reading level, Group Two at the seventh, and Group Three at the eighth, as assessed by the Fry Formula for Estimating Readability." (Introduction)
