These action-packed stories invite students to infer, visualize, and summarize to predict the ending of each story. Students will read the short story, then write or discuss their predictions about the story's ending. To make their prediction, students need to analyze character, read for details, understand cause and effect, make inferences, and summarize as they read. Each reproducible story comes with a teacher page that includes before and after reading suggestions, writing and discussion prompts, and a vocabulary list. A great way to boost comprehension and build critical-thinking skills! Set includes three books, one each of: Comprehension Cliffhangers, Nonfiction Comprehension Cliffhangers, and Mysery Cliffhangers. Reproducible, 80 pages each book. Grades 4-8
