Reviews
We use the Writing Activities in conjunction with The Family Readers books to improve each student's reading comprehension. We discuss each book and reinforce its meaning with writing activities.
--Hester Rippy, Liason for the Lehi, Utah Public Library Literacy Center.
Because we used The Family Readers, our daughter's pre-first grade reading scores were eight times higher than average but her reading comprehensive score was average. The Writing Activities would have improved those scores drastically.
--Robert Stevens, President, WriteExpress Corporation
Not only did the Writing Activities help with students learning to read, it improved their spelling and language skills.
