Spectrum Reading Comprehension Grade 8, Ages 13 to 14, 8th Grade Workbooks, Nonfiction and Fiction Passages, Analyzing and Summarizing Story Structure Using Context Clues and Citations - 160 Pages

I like it for homeschooling because it teaches older subjects that people don’t talk about anymore. Lol. Also give me kid a great chance to independently sit, read and answer questions. We go one grade level above students grade level, so student is more challenged.

Excellent

My child is in 6th grade. I use this book to help her catch up during Covid, stay at home, Zoom schooling. She only has 2 to 3 hours of schooling online per day and no homework. This book is self-explanatory and lessons are easy to follow. Stories are short and I find it neutral. Example topics: "Moon Veggies", "Out of this World Experience", "Planting a seed for the Future","Dear President Obama", "a picture Worth a Thousand Laughs", etc. Topics are current and relevant. Students learn grade-level vocabulary, main-idea and supporting ideas, inference, lessons learned, etc.

Its a pretty good book. Ground rule for spectrum I always order a year ahead in reading because they passages are generally really simple and not that challenging and my child is a gifted student, even in ordering an 8th grade for a seventh grader it was generally pretty easy and unchallenging. It no longer explains how to do things like they do with the lower grade workbooks, but in the end I always love spectrum that main objective is to make kids want to study, and I recommend the science grade 8 which is actually complex and challenging .So I would say these books are good but they are pretty easy.

Our English teacher recommened it.

Diverse and interesting subject matter with thought provoking tests. So refreshing to NOT have to deal with a politically correct, piece of public school propaganda. This was quite the opposite in it's balance and topics and turned out to be an excellent learning tool for my 7th grader. Most definitely helped improve her comprehension skills. Highly recommend!

If your kids are not getting enough homework from school, I highly recommend this book. I’ve been using this practice book for my younger son and he has been excelling on his a state exam. There are an answer sheet in the back so you can definitely check your kids work. They are not time consuming.

This workbook takes topics sometimes difficult to grasp and nails them down to solid understandings. My favorite section was about wildfires, a natural disaster my section of the country faces every summer. Not only did my students go through the drill of finding main ideas, supporting evidence, et al, they also gained essential and critical information which they might use. The writers have a solid grasp of the essential ideas and breaks them down into easy-to-understand elements. Not boring for me, either.

I love the Spectrum workbooks. I first introduced these books to my homeschooled daughter when she had finished one grade of a different curriculum and I didn't think she was quite ready for the next grade but she needed something to work on. We never did go back to the other curriculum, just kept buying Spectrum. We especially like the Reading. It's just 2 pages a lesson, covers many Language Arts concepts (not just comprehension), and my daughter finds them very interesting to read. She has learned a lot just by the reading section, let alone what she learns from answering the different kinds of questions that go with each reading. This is the book she goes to first in the morning and often goes ahead in her lessons. Whether you need it as a supplement to your child's regular school work or for summertime work or your child's only reading curriculum I am sure you will find this book meets your needs.

Very good

Grade7に引き続いて購入。週1の個人の英語レッスンで使用。色々な分野の文章があるので、色々な単語や文に触れられていいと思います。英文で解答する事も多いため、今後受けるであろう大学2次試験や各種検定試験の対策にもなるのでは？と思っています。後ろに解答もついてます。 続けてると少しずつですが、知らない間に力がついていってるようです。

I like spectrum workbooks . Every year I buy the rm for my kids.
