Overview

Motivate students with high-interest fiction

from master authors

  • Motivate struggling readers with high-interest stories

    at ten reading levels

  • Improve vocabulary and comprehension skills

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.
