Reading Comprehension
Summary Chart
Use this Summary Chart to help your students organize their thoughts and ideas and improve their reading comprehension. The basic concept of the sheet is that once students read a paragraph in their textbooks or reading books they summarize the main idea(s), including key words or phrases. They are to identify details that support the main ideas. There is space for drawing as well to help your students further express their understanding of the material.
A Main Idea or 2
A Teacher's Pay Teachers account with numerous reading guides to help your middle and high school students comprehend novels, e.g., Far North, The Crucible, The Old Man & the Sea, and many others often assigned in the classroom. Follow the link.
MVP Tutors Workbooks
Our preparatory and review workbooks cover a number of activities focusing on the maintenance and development of skills that your students developed or will develop in the school year. The materials focus on reading, writing, and mathematics and are appropriate for an accelerated student or a student who has successfully completed the grade listed on the workbook.
Activities include reading comprehension, creative writing, vocabulary, number patterns, fractions, addition, subtraction, and multiplication. In the upper levels activities include research strategies and logic problems.
Successful completion of these assignments should prepare your student for the coming school year and avoid the dreaded “summer slide”.

Daily Practice Workbook
A daily number practice workbook to help your student build strong number sense skills. Repeated practice of skills consolidates and solidifies learning. It promotes overlearning which results in automaticity of skills.
Every day you choose a "number of the day" for your student to focus on and manipulate (e.g., 10, 235, $20.99). The student is asked to write the number in word and expanded form. They are asked to add to, subtract from, and to multiply the number. Provide whatever supports (e.g., number line or calculator) are needed by your student to complete the practice sheets successfully.
The worksheets in this workbook are deliberately identical. Every day your student can complete their assignments knowing exactly what is expected of them and how they should proceed. This benefits all students but especially those with learning challenges. Click the above image to be taken to the website to purchase.
