Notes

The Guided Reading Magazine provides short texts specifically designed for guided reading sessions. The magazine is made up of three modules and additional regular features. The first two modules focus on specific comprehension skill and genre. Module 1: Beasts from the Past Looks at the monsters of ancient myths and legends - perhaps imaginary, perhaps not - that have scared people through the ages. Module 2: Beasts of the Deep Continues the theme of myth and legend, and moves on to take a scientific look at some very real, and very scary, creatures of the sea. Module 3: Monsters that Entertain Us Examines the amazing technological tricks used to create the monsters that delight audiences on TV and in the movies.
