Description
The Jacob's Ladder Reading Comprehension Program Grade 4 is designed to support high-ability learners in developing their reading comprehension skills. Developed by the William & Mary Center for Gifted Education, this program uses an inquiry-based approach to help students progress from basic understanding to critical analysis of texts. Using a field-tested method, students will learn to comprehend and analyze various reading passages, including short stories, poetry, essays, and nonfiction. The program's skill ladders connect lower-order concrete thinking skills with higher-order critical thinking skills, covering essential language arts standards such as sequencing, cause and effect, classifying, inferencing, and recognizing main ideas. This teacher's guide provides an overview of the Jacob's Ladder tasks, including goals and objectives, as well as suggestions for implementation. Companion student workbooks are also available to support the program.
