    This book uses research-based reading strategies with ques in the margins to help build comprehension skills in 7th graders. It is perfect for use with students lacking a solid background in comprehension strategies, as well as being friendly to English language learners.

    One of the previous reviewers obviously did not understand the purpose of this book. It is not your typical literature book, but more of a 7th grade reading course using literature. It is not usual for 7th graders to learn Shakespeare, though I have seen 7 grade readers that include some mythology, it was not something we learned back when I was in 7th grade. We saved that for 9th grade English.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An integrated approach, April 8, 2009
    My seventh grade son is using this book and loves it. The text is divided into units, each of which deals with a "big question" of social relevance, e.g., "Who can we really count on?" and "Is progress always good?". Each unit offers several topical and engaging reading selections that address this "big question". Children not only consider important themes, but learn to see how those themes apply to different people within a variety of contexts and situations. Hence they develop the empathy, insights, and perspective-taking that enable them to become better writers and thinkers. This process stimulates both personal and intellectual growth as minds are broadened and extended. Formal teaching of such topics as grammar, vocabulary, figurative language, literary elements, and technical writing skills, is integrated with the reading selections and the theme of each unit. This book allows a great deal of learning and growth to take place almost effortlessly as it is such fun and so... Read more

    1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Textbook Ever Seen, April 9, 2008
    By 
    Greta Hoostal (Warren, OH, USA) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This is the worst textbook I have ever seen. It will behoove you to be forewarned it is entirely grounded in outcome-based educational methods. My stepdaughter has an online correspondence course using it. Almost everything in it is from the 20th-21st centuries (from the beginning of the decline of Western Civilization onward), the rest from the 19th century. So, there is no Shakespeare, Chaucer, nothing from, say, Ancient Greece, hardly anything edifying. The book contains a very small amount of actual literature, a story by O. Henry, poems by Poe and Frost, and so on. But, overwhelmingly, the contents are complete junk. More than half of the reading selections are NON-FICTION. It contains: more SPANISH vocabulary words than I can count (an ENGLISH book), the phrase "Raza-style" defined as something innocent and positive, stories featuring ill-bred ghetto children who don't make efforts to better themselves and escape the ghettos, fluffy stories about friendship, a People Magazine...
