These worksheets are tailored to the current textbook: Biology by Miller and Levine (commonly called the Dragonfly book) 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.
