About this title

Synopsis

The Affective Jacob's Ladder Reading Comprehension Program uses a models approach to scaffold student learning and promote inquiry-based discussions of texts. This series of Jacob's Ladder focuses specifically on supporting advanced students' social-emotional needs through the discussion of reading selections in the following genres: short stories and media, poetry, and biographies.

Each set of student workbooks includes 5 student booklets, divided by grade level and area of emphasis. Corresponding to the activities in Affective Jacob's Ladder, Grades 6-8, students read high-interest passages, then complete skill ladders connected to the picture book, short story, and media readings and activities to move them from lower to higher level skills of self-awareness, metacognition, and goal setting. The ladders include multiple skills necessary for success and integrate reading comprehension and analysis skills with affective and social-emotional needs, as students are asked to apply themes, character or real-life experiences, and lessons from texts to their own lives.

Grades 6-8
