Motivate students in grades 7–8 to read using Nonfiction Reading Comprehension! This 64-page book provides students with practice reading nonfiction selections and testing for comprehension. The book covers five content areas: science, history, geography, economics, and informational text. Within each content area, there are four reading selections and one set of paired passages. Standardized testing formats assess reading comprehension to help students become familiar with the testing process. The book supports NCTE standards and aligns with state, national, and Canadian provincial standards.

After reading brief nonfiction passages about science, geography, or history topics, students answer multiple choice and short answer questions to build seven essential comprehension skills.
