It's no secret that the strategies in both the Primary and Intermediate Comprehension Toolkit lay the groundwork for students to build quality content knowledge while simultaneously developing their reading comprehension skills. But if you're looking for specific information about how the lessons correlate with TEKS, then look no further.

If you currently use a basal reader, you'll see that Toolkit lessons are a powerful supplement to supporting the comprehension strategies on which the new TEKS focus.
