    How We Teach Reading 4

    Building Reading Comprehension Skills

    Lessons divide into three sections—Before Reading, During Reading, and After Reading—that work together to teach students to more efficiently gain information from texts by teaching literary terms, genre definitions, and comprehension skill and strategies.

    Expanding Familiarity with Literature

    Selections now include a wider variety of authors, genres, and more well-known authors. Selections also include three novel studies in addition to informational texts, biographies, realistic fiction, and more.

    Focusing Learning with Big Ideas

    Each selection begins with a focus statement presented in a “Big Idea” box. Big Ideas direct the students’ attention to key concepts that they will encounter in each selection. Other Before Reading instruction includes literary terms, genre definitions, and comprehension strategies

    Developing Critical-Thinking Skills

    Discussion questions before, during, and after reading direct students to consider each work from a biblical worldview and work through problems they encounter in literature from an informed perspective.
