Collections inspires teachers’ creative instructional choices by providing a plethora of unique resources—fully supported by point-of-use scaffolding—that make teaching exciting.
Collections creates passionate student readers with texts that matter to them, and their engagement with the texts inspires them to become critical readers, writers, and thinkers.
Beginning with reading that draws students in and makes them want to respond, Collections goes on to teach students the skills required to craft those responses—orally and in writing.
Dramatic historical stories, contemporary events, and multi-genre and leveled texts ensure that content is age appropriate and always engaging for students.
Instruction facilitates meaningful conversations about the texts to promote inquiry and active learning, helping students with annotation, analysis, and creative thinking.
Online tools help students revise, evaluate, and incorporate text evidence and foster both peer and teacher feedback.
Performance tasks and mentor texts offer practice and support to hone listening, articulate speaking, and writing skills.
Collections gives teachers a clear teaching path but doesn’t dictate how they teach. It gives teachers multiple ways to work with texts and point-of-use support for fine-tuning them to use with different kinds of students and situations.
Work with a whole class to puzzle out answers to a Close Read and Raised Hand questions.
Tackle challenging Worksheet questions and Performance tasks collaboratively in pairs or small groups.
Encourage individual students to read more and dig deeper using Guided Reading questions and Level Up tutorials.
