Description:
Longman Cornerstone is a mult-level program designed for elementary English learners and struggling readers whose academic achievement is two or more years below grade level. Through explicit, intensive, and focused instruction, it is designed to accelerate students’ language acquisition, reading comprehension, vocabulary and oral and written communication skills. Longman Cornerstone blends rigorous, research-based reading and language skills instruction together with a balance of content-area readings and age-appropriate, high-interest stories. In addition, this series incorporates the focused and purposeful instructional principles of Understanding by Design, which allow students to demonstrate their understanding and mastery of skills through multiple formal and informal assessment opportunities. K, 1st and 2nd are grade level books. The other books are based on language proficiency A, B, and C.
The program has multiple components, among them: Transparencies with daily language practice exercises based on work done the previous day(s). In addition, all student models from the Student Edition are reproduced so the teacher can use them to highlight language and content with the class plus more. A Teaching Resource Book has multiple resources, including reading summaries in several languages. The program also includes a Program Audio CD, Video DVD Video segments that provide 5-7 minutes of background-building information on the theme of the unit, a Teacher CD-ROM with teacher resources, plus ExamView™ test generator, a Student CD-ROM w/ eBook electronic student edition that includes complete video and audio recordings, hyperlinks to web resources, and a “Read and Record” feature that allows students to practice their reading and speaking fluency. There are additional resources for leveled reading as well as phonics instruction. The Longman Cornerstone companion website provides additional tools for assessment and teaching. See the website below for a broader explanation of the program and its many components.
