The articles include an array of features typical of informational text such as diagrams, charts, maps, and timelines. The articles give students an opportunity to read and process the kinds of passages typically found on state tests. The teachers notes at the beginning of each book describe effective ways the articles can be used to practice the strategies in The Comprehension Toolkit.
