Product ReviewsMcGraw Hill Reading by McGraw-Hill Staff (2001, Hardcover)

An excellent series of K-6 reading textbooks for homeschoolers

McGraw Hill "Reading" is an excellent series of literacy textbooks. Level 6, like the others in the series, provides selections from a wonderful assortment of literary genres. Richly illustrated, it features background information on the authors, illustrators and artists. Each literary piece is preceded by a well-known work of art of a similar theme for the student to analyze. Cross-curricular activities are included with every chapter as well as comprehension questions. As homeschoolers we have used the corresponding workbooks for further practice, but the text may be used on its own. I enjoyed the selections and so did my child to the point that it lead to reading more works by the same writers; it provided a good way to become familiar with many authors. If I had to pick just one reading textbook series for our entire K-6 reading program, this would be it.Read full review...
