Textbook Reading Guides
These worksheets are tailored to the current textbook: Biology by Miller and Levine.  Most are specifically targeted to chapter sections – as in, students read the section of the chapter and answer very straightforward questions as they read. I originally designed the reading guides to encourage freshman students to read the chapters. Files have two formats: .html for simple viewing on the web, and doc files
, which can be easily edited using Microsoft word.

If you are looking for the textbook reading guides for the old textbook, Holt, Rinehart, Winston’s “Biology: Principles & Explorations”, you can view the folder contents. I no longer update these worksheets because we no longer use that book.
