Superkits include 1 Teaching Guide and 30 Student WorkbooksAs students progress through the grades, more and more of their reading is done in nonfiction, or expository, materialsÑcontent area textbooks, reference books, periodicals, and informative articles on the Internet, for example. Because the main purpose for reading these texts is to acquire information, the reasons for teaching our students efficient and effective strategies for tackling this type of text are compelling. Students need explicit instruction in identifying and best utilizing the text features and text structures they encounter.
