Description

The Jacob's Ladder Reading Comprehension Program is designed to help high-ability learners develop advanced reading comprehension skills. Developed by the Center for Gifted Education at William & Mary, this program uses an inquiry process to guide students from basic understanding to critical analysis of texts. Through a series of skill ladders connected to short stories, poetry, essays, and nonfiction, students progress from lower-order thinking skills to higher-order critical thinking skills. The program covers essential language arts standards, including sequencing, cause and effect, classification, making inferences, and recognizing main ideas, themes, and concepts. This teacher's guide provides an overview of the Jacob's Ladder tasks, explaining how they can be used to scaffold reading comprehension and promote academic success. Companion student workbooks are also available, featuring ample space for student responses and notes, making it easier for teachers to provide feedback and support their students' learning.
