Reading for Critical Thinking - Level C Published by Gamco Age Group: Age 8 and Up Type: Language Arts License: free demo

Work on reading comprehension skills in this game. Start by reading an informative paragraph, e.g. on moviegoing before tv, or Santa Claus in France. Then answer a series of questions on it.

Vocabulary questions ask you to choose the best replacement for, or definition of, a word from 4 multiple choice answers. To answer comprehension questions, pick the best title for the paragraph, or choose a sentence that could logically belong in it, a sentence to best complete it, or one that tells something not explicitly stated in the paragraph.

Next pick 2 out of 4 words that summarize what the paragraph is about. Finally fill in a small crossword puzzle with words relating to the paragraph. Click on Help at any time to get suggestions on how to find the correct answer. If you make a mistake the program explains why it is incorrect and lets you try again.

After a correct answer at any one of these steps, make a guess at a 4 digit number in the Code Cracker game (like Master Mind). Break the computer's code!
