This guide to reading comprehension, vocabulary, and literature analysis will help students learn to read critically so they may comprehend and apply what they have read, whether fiction or nonfiction. The lessons in each chapter correlate with Elsie Dinsmore (Book #1).  Included are vocabulary lists for two different age levels, thought-provoking questions about reading comprehension and literature analysis, and questions about the values and character traits portrayed in the book. A section of personal challenges will help young readers apply the positive things they learn to their daily lives.
