Suitable for teaching basic reading skills. Not so much for passages.

[Kasia Szafranowska · Rating 3 out of 5]

Bardzo konkretna, przydatna książka z mnóstwem ćwiczeń poprawiającymi zrozumienie podczas czytania. Idealna dla nauczycieli i pedagogów pracujących z dziećmi z trudnościami w czytaniu.

Ja znalazłam w niej dla siebie 4 sposoby organizowania informacji w tekście, co pomogło mi stworzyć plan szkolenia dla studentów.

Polecam nauczycielom języka polskiego na poziomie szkoły podstawowej, gimnazjum i liceum.
