This book is intended to be used by the upper elementary grades, mainly grades 3 to 5. Many of the passages are challenging so the student is forced to read the stories with an analytic mind. It is a unique approach in the sense that the student who is in fourth grade can still attempt some of the passages that are intended for the third grade and move forward to his focus grade. Likewise, a student who is in fifth grade can attempt to respond to some of the passages that are intended for the lower grades and move forward. Parents and teachers can pace the tests in such a way that they will have ample time to correct problems and weaknesses as well as reinforce skills and concepts in comprehension and writing.
