Claims to Fame includes biographies of famous people and quizzes on their life. Students will dvelop reading, thinking, and writing skills as they learn. Three exercises-Thinking about What You Have Read, Working with Words, and Writing Skills-check comprehension, expand vocabulary, and offer writing opportunities. The brief stories, running from one-and-a-half to three pages as the series advances, are accompanied by black-and white photos showing the person or their work. Preceding each story is a question that leads students to reflect on what they already know about the topic ot the story. Vocabulary words are highlighted and then defined after the reading selection.
