Motivate students with high-interest fiction
from master authors
at ten reading levels
One of our classic best-sellers, Goodman's Five-Star Stories, supplements
any literature curriculum or stands on its own by providing interesting fiction
at just the right reading levels. Adapted well-known short stories by
traditional authors and newer multicultural authors entice even struggling
readers with tales of adventure, derring-do, and surprise. Vocabulary in
context, cloze passages, and critical thinking exercises help readers improve
their understanding of the narrative text.
