Boxes indicate difficulty level of the page: = easiest = more difficult = most difficult How to Use the Skill Units • Introduce the skill with the rst page of the unit (indicated by ), moving on to the remaining two pages over time as students’ skill acquisition dictates. • Students will derive the most bene t from the lessons if the skill and words are introduced and discussed orally before the activities are assigned. • Assign the rst ( ) or second ( ) page depending on each student’s instructional level. Use the third page ( ) as a whole group review. Use the multiple-choice pages to teach and practice test-taking skills. • Use one of the three pages with the whole group, and assign one or more of the other pages as homework.
