The Readers in Residence (RIR) series is a reading comprehension, literature, and vocabulary program. It may be used alone or in conjunction with the Writers in Residence series. Together the two programs provide a full year of language arts.

In Readers in Residence, while studying some of the finest books in children’s literature, students learn how to do the following:

• understand the author’s craft, choices, and intentions
• recognize the literary elements authors use to create fiction and nonfiction
• make inferences from the details in the text plus their own prior knowledge and experience
• decode the meaning of unfamiliar words from context clues
• build a rich and varied vocabulary
• identify and understand figures of speech such as personification, metaphor, and hyperbole
• notice how expert writers employ the conventions of the English language (punctuation, capitalization, grammar, and usage) to achieve clarity

Readers in Residence, volume 1 is aimed at students in 4th grade and up. It is suitable for older students who struggle with reading comprehension or who are unfamiliar with the skills taught in this program.
