Developed and designed for students in grades 7 through 12, Going Places Reader: 96 Lessons Focus On USA destinations divides continental American into eight geographic areas and provides details on twelve unique tourist destinations within each region that have a special apple to middle and high school students. An ideal curriculum supplement as high-interest reading comprehension material attractive to teen readers, each of the 96 lessons consists of a pone-page story written in a modified travel brochure style at a third to fifth grade reading level, and includes two pages of comprehension quizzes about the story. Students locate their destination on a map and connect its location to their own state and town of origin. The students are also encouraged to write their own experiences and opinions about each site. The lessons are illustrated and include actual photographs of the locations. Enhanced with thematically appropriate internet addresses, Going Places Reader would be especially effective with "reading phobic" students and would make a an effective and fun addition to homeschooling curriculums as well!
