Reading Comprehension: Stories of the Saints, Volume 3 Author(s): Elaine Woodfield The ad for this book does not do it justice. It is far more than just a reading comprehension workbook and although the ad does list the activities involved, it doesn't express their depth or breadth. This book could be used as a unit study!

Reading Comprehension: Stories of the Saints, Volume 3 Author(s): Elaine Woodfield This book contains four in-depth saint stories (approximately 25 pages each): St. Edith Stein, Blessed Gianna Molla, Blessed Father Francis Xavier Seelos, C.Ss.R and Blessed Junipero Serra.
