Critical Literacy Series - 2 books
Target students’ skills in understanding, analyzing, and connecting
ideas!
We asked language arts teachers, “What are the greatest challenges
your students face when taking standardized tests?” They answered,
“My kids don’t understand figurative language, and they don’t know
how to infer information from a text.”
That’s why we created this series. Struggling readers can, and do,
read. Their problem is understanding and processing the ideas behind
the words. Critical Literacy includes direct, explicit instruction
in skills that are essential to literacy.
Each book contains 20 reading, vocabulary, and writing lessons:
In Critical Literacy: Making Inferences, the lessons
strengthen the reader’s ability to make evidence-based guesses,
recall relevant details, and analyze text and non-textual clues.
In Critical Literacy: Figurative Language, the lessons focus
on alliteration, analogy, hyperbole, idioms, metaphors, paradox,
similes, and other figures of speech.
• 20 lessons in each book

minutes to complete
