Teach children to create and use text sets
- Ready-to-use standards-based units of study at several grade levels. In order to understand a topic deeply, learners must access information from a variety of sources and in many different text genres and media — this comprehension instruction often focuses on strategies for understanding single texts in isolation.
- Help prepare your students for the complex, multigenre literacy demands. In this book, a gifted teacher shares a powerful approach she's developed for teaching students to explore a topic using multigenre text sets. She includes sample standards-based units of study for a range of grade levels and planning templates for developing your own units built around text sets in a range of genres.
- Planning guides for creating your own units. You'll also find other supports such as detailed instructions for helping students to assemble their own text sets that they can use independently.
