 Captivating storiesMar 02, 2010
I bought this book to use with my tutoring students, and they really liked the stories in them. They have great skill building standards, and the book is well organized. It is a little repetitive though. They got bored with it after awhile. I was able to use it as a spring board for several of my own comprehension lessons which was nice. If you can get this book at a good price and need it for a couple of lesson fillers, or spring board comprehension activities it's perfect, and kids really do love the stories.

Kids love it!Feb 22, 2008
I teach 5th graders who usually hate to read and hate to write even more. However, they LOVE the stories in this book. Rather than use it as a read aloud guide, I let the kids read the story independently and then create their own endings to the cliffhanger. Then we have a writing contest -- they love it!

 Quite a good collection!Aug 25, 2007
The short stories are entertaining, especially those modern versions of the well-known fairy tales. They are very funny. However, if you are an EFL teacher, you may want to know that the English used in the stories is quite colloquial and "American", which may or may not be a good thing to you.

 Great StoriesJul 07, 2007
The stories in the book are great,however, there aren't any user friendly suggestions for using the book in the classroom. Since I've already purchased the book, I will probably use it once or twice just to get my money's worth.

Comprehension Cliffhangers for 4th GradersFeb 06, 2007
This book is wonderful! My students love the stories. Comprehension Cliffhangers help students, not only with comprehension and vocabulary, but also their writing! I use it weekly. As a teacher, I find students have no problem creating, for example, an adventure story but they often have trouble writing an ending that leaves the reader satisfied. This book gives students the opportunity to be creative and think of their own ending but also compare and contrast their ending with that of the authors. If you are a teacher looking for a book of short stories that grab each student's attention this is the book. Check it out!
