ConceptLinks™ Reading Comprehension Strategies and Language Development
Description: (June 2008) ConceptLinks™ is a series of modules that incorporate the best practices of differentiated instruction to build an array of language, literacy and science process skills around a core science theme. Every module provides spiraled, grade-level science content and vocabulary through Student Books that are differentiated to help students in grades 3 through 8 start at the most appropriate level and make steady progress toward grade-level competencies. Each theme set includes 4 multileveled-student books (six per level), a visual tool called the Concept Connector (large, full-color images, with differentiated questions for pre and post reading assessments) a Teacher’s Guide with built-in differentiated instruction, language literacy and content objectives, Reproducible Learning Masters at point of use, management tips for flexible grouping, differentiated activities for writer’s workshop, formal and informal assessment tools that include differentiated assessment along with written and oral language assessment rubrics. Technology Resources include an image bank, Resource CD-Rom, Classroom Management and Assessment CD-ROM, and an Audio CD for student support. The themes are kept in convenient, durable Tote Bags that are easy to display, store, and carry. Use the Newcomer Science Vocabulary Booster to help English language newcomers build essential academic vocabulary and language skills needed to participate in the program materials.
(Note: The IRC staff is very excited about this new resource and looking forward to completion of the Social Studies themes. The resources will also be developed in Spanish.) Appropriate for High School
