The Sign of the Beaver ; Lexile 770L

The Sign of the Beaver is a story of a friendship between a settler and the native Indians in America.

The protagonist named Matt is only 12 years old. He servived with help Atten and his Indian tribe in the wildness. 

It was an old time story, but the native American looks like Japanese of today in the population declining.    

Atten hated white men though, he must learn English due to equaly contracts.

 

During this winter holiday, RyuTanMan and I have been reading English books.

In Japan, the comprehension of students declined and this is a big issue.

At the international school where my son attended, the teachers measured the comprehension by Lexile. 

The students are required over 400 Lexile points in grade 3 to understand the class. If not, they should have ELS class.

The planning of reading skills can improve comprehen well.

All they have to do is to read neither too difficult nor too easy, but the just right books.
