Discover the Power of Real-World Reading with Practical Practice Life Skills!

Have you ever had to read a menu, follow a schedule, or find your way using a map? These everyday tasks require essential reading skills that some students need extra support to master. With Practical Practice Reading: Life Skills, students build confidence while practicing how to read, interpret, and apply real-life information.

How Practical Practice Life Skills Works:

Each highly visual page presents a real-world reading challenge, such as interpreting a recipe, scanning a schedule, or navigating an online shopping page. Students then answer follow-up comprehension questions that require them to go back to the text, interpret what they’ve read, and use the information in meaningful ways.

Skills Students Develop:

Through hands-on, life-relevant practice, students strengthen essential skills, including:

• Functional Literacy: Reading and interpreting schedules, menus, maps, ads, and more.

• Comprehension: Answering questions that require referring back to text.

• Problem-Solving: Using reading strategies to apply information to real situations.

• Confidence-Building: Developing independence in everyday reading tasks.

Why Practical Practice Life Skills Stands Out?

• Real-World Focus: 70 authentic reading challenges drawn from daily life.

• Highly Visual Design: Full-color reference pages support visual and reluctant learners.

• Comprehensive Resource: Includes practice activities across 7 practical categories.

• Flexible Use: Perfect for classrooms, intervention, independent practice, or home learning.

Who Can Benefit from Practical Practice Life Skills?

• Educators: A structured way to teach functional reading in real-world contexts.

• Special Educators & SLPs: A valuable tool for life skills programs and comprehension support.

• Parents: A practical way to reinforce everyday reading skills at home.
