100% customized to the Pennsylvania Academic Standards!

Employing current best practices as well as teacher feedback, this content-area reading program explicitly teaches one core comprehension skill or strategy in each unit, applying it to the four major content areas — language arts fiction, science, social studies, and math.

Eight units at each level teach the most-tested comprehension skills and strategies:

  • Distinguishing Fiction from Nonfiction (Level B)
  • Main Idea and Details
  • Sequence
  • Compare and Contrast
  • Draw Conclusions (Levels B and C)
  • Make Inferences (Levels D-H)
  • Fact and Opinion (Levels C-H)
  • Cause and Effect
  • Problems and Solutions

Keep on Reading! selections gradually increase in difficulty to build confidence. In Levels B-D, each unit starts slightly below grade level with a fiction selection and builds to on-level, nonfiction reading. In Levels E-H, reading is accelerated with selections at the beginning of the book starting two grades below level and building to on-level reading at the end.

   
"Keep on Reading is very well aligned to our new content standards. The instructional materials are well presented and include a variety of assessments that are similar to those on the state practice assessments."
— Marilyn Liber, Principal
