Designed for struggling readers, the Reading & Writing Sourcebooks feature classic and contemporary literature selections supported by direct reading and writing instruction to help students develop effective strategies for understanding and interpreting literature.
With a journal-style design similar in format to the popular Daybooks of Critical Reading and Writing, this series for grades 6-12 is ideal for students who need solid reading and writing skills instruction. Each level includes 24 literature selections combined with focused, skills-based reader response activities that guide students through different stages of reading, understanding, interpreting, and writing about literature. This effective blend of high-interest literature and direct reading and writing instruction draws students into each selection while teaching them the strategies they need to become active readers and effective writers.
Direct reading instruction helps students develop solid reading skills.
Opening questions build interest to help students focus on the reading selection.
Comprehension building activities in every selection give students strategies for improving reading comprehension.
The Response Notes column gives students a place to record their thoughts and take notes as they read. These notes improve comprehension and help students respond to accompanying activities.
Vocabulary words are highlighted in the text and defined at the bottom of the page to help students understand the selection.
Prewriting activities help students respond to what they've read and prepare them for longer writing activities.
