Do Your Students Need to Improve and Practice their Reading Comprehension Skills?
Meet the Reading Comprehension Practice Cards
The Reading Comprehension Practice cards are available for 15 different comprehension skills and each individual skill comes at three different reading levels -- each with its own pack of cards. The Red Level is for reading levels 2.0-3.5, the Blue Level covers levels 3.5-5.0, and the Green Level covers levels 5.0-6.5. This means these cards will work at the elementary level for students just learning and reviewing reading comprehension skills, and also at the middle school level for remedial work.Each deck of 54 cards covers a specific reading skill and contains 53 sturdy practice cards and one card with instructions. The heavy card stock is designed to last for a long time. Each 3.5 x 5.5 inch card contains an appropriate leveled passage with followed by multiple choice questions to test the student's comprehension. Then the student can check his answers on the back of the card to see if he is correct.Cards are color coded by level and skill. Here is a list of the reading skills available so far in this series:
- Following Directions
- Reading Between the Lines
- Cause and Effect
- Context Clues
- Drawing Conclusions
- Fact or Opinion
- Figurative Language
- Inference
- Logic and Reasoning
- Main Idea
- Predicting Outcomes
- Reading for Detail

What do you like best about these Reading Comprehension Practice Cards ?
You may also find these companion Reading Comprehension Activity Books helpful.
They cover the most popular reading comprehension skills.
Edupress also makes a series of activity books that work to teach some of the skills that the Reading Comprehension Practice cards help review. These books of reproducible activities are available at two levels for each of these skills: Inference, Cause and Effect, Main Idea, Context Clues, Reading for Details, and Figurative Language. Each book contains a variety of activities that can be used with small groups, individuals, or whole classes.
The activities in the books are more varied than the questions found on the Reading Comprehension Practice Cards. I'm looking through Inference Reading Comprehension Activities right now, and I see activities where students draw pictures, underline clues, write sentences or short answers, make riddles, and even act out paragraphs. Emphasis is not only on knowing the right answer, but also understanding the steps that led to figuring out the right answer. Topics in this book include Introducing Inference; Picture Inferences; Inference Charades; Who? What? Where?; Using Clue Words; I See, Therefore I Think; Inferring Feelings; Inferring Action; Inferring Feelings Through Dialogue; Describing Places; Figuring Out What Happens Next; Reading for Relationships; Inferring Information; and In the News.
In one activity in this book, there was a graph where students had done a science project to record the weather every day for a month. Students need to infer what season the month occurred in, what the students were most likely to have worn to school, what the students most likely would have done after school, etc.
Of course, each book will have appropriate activities for the subject it covers. Books are currently available for reading levels 2.0 - 3.5 and 3.5 - 5.0. Current prices can be found by following the link at the top of this module. As I write this in February, 2012, my price is $7.19 per book.
It doesn't do your students much good to read
unless they can understand what they read.
