Spectrum Reading Workbook, Grade 8: Volume 26

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.

I’ve been really impressed with this reading workbook! I especially like that it doesn’t just ask students to repeat what they read—it actually helps them process the material. The passages are a good mix of fiction and nonfiction, and the questions go beyond basic recall, which is perfect for building deeper comprehension skills. The helpful definitions and parent support pages at the start of each section are a great bonus—I feel more equipped to guide my students through each lesson. It’s structured in a way that makes it easy to follow, and the built-in reviews help reinforce what they’ve learned before moving on. Definitely a solid choice for eighth-grade readers who are ready to go beyond the surface of a story!

Very good

I quite like this book for my child. It includes lots of different topics and writing styles to read and the comprehension exercises are great.

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。
