The Reading Horizons Student Workbook was developed to provide reinforcement activities for students while in class or at home. Student Workbook activities provide a simple review of the skills taught and allow students to practice marking words, to read passages that contain applicable text, and then to apply the skill to see it used in context. This consumable workbook is correlated exactly with both the Reading Horizons software and the direct-instruction materials. Every lesson in the teacher materials references the applicable workbook activity.
