Ignite a love for reading and learning with the 5 W's Fiction & Nonfiction Stories, expertly designed to help students improve their reading comprehension skills. This comprehensive resource is tailored for students in grades 2-4, with an interest level of 3+, and a reading level of 2.0-4.5. Through a series of engaging and humorous stories, students will develop essential skills in identifying the who, what, when, where, and why in texts, thereby enhancing their ability to understand and retain information.

The fiction stories, featured in Tab 1, cleverly reimagine familiar childhood fairy tales with a modern twist, using clever language to give the stories a contemporary feel. Meanwhile, the nonfiction stories in Tab 2 are inspired by real news stories about animals, incorporating factual information to create an authentic newspaper feel. Vibrant illustrations bring the stories to life, drawing students in and adding an extra layer of humor to the reading experience. Struggling or reluctant readers from third grade to high school will find the stories entertaining and enjoyable to read.

The Nonfiction stories in Tab 2 are accompanied by five additional questions, designed to challenge students to think critically and comprehensively. These questions assess students' ability to identify the main idea, expand vocabulary, and distinguish between facts and opinions. The final question, "Find Out More!", encourages students to engage in further research, using an encyclopedia or other reference source to explore the topic in greater depth. This inquiry-based approach helps students build knowledge through investigation and presentation of different aspects of the topic.
