In eighth grade and beyond, students are asked to read, understand, and interpret a variety of texts, including stories and poems, reports, essays, and scientific and technical information. Each of the twenty short lessons in 8th Grade Reading Comprehension Success is designed to help students build their critical reading and thinking skills.

These lessons start with the basics and move into more complex reading strategies, with each lesson including several exercises and explanations to practice the skills learned. This book also includes a pre-test and post-test to help see how much the reading comprehension skills have improved, specifying areas where additional practice may be needed.
