The Benchmark Education Company (BEC) produces books at all levels that incorporate Margaret Kilgo’s reading comprehension model, Comprehension Through Deductive Reasoning. These books include the Kilgo levels of questions from answers stated in the text to answers inferred and implied from text evidence to answers based on author and literary analysis.  The Kilgo reading comprehension model in the BEC books is 100% aligned with the Reading Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and Student Expectations (SE) to the depth of the higher-level thinking skills tested on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS).
