English/Language Arts Introductions

There are six of these introductions, one for each of the six reading skill areas addressed by ITRI. You will need one copy of each introduction per student. Students will need to refer to these introductions as they complete each ITRI lesson, so you may consider printing them on cardstock or sturdy paper if it is available. You may also consider making overheads of these documents for easy reference.
