Master Key Reading Strategies with Focused Practice

This program is composed of six titles, each devoted to a specific strategy, including Comparing and Contrasting, Making Predictions, Drawing Conclusions and Making Inferences, Recognizing Cause and Effect, Understanding Sequence, and Understanding Main Idea and Details.
