Summary

Jacob's Ladder Reading Comprehension Program is designed to enhance reading comprehension skills in high-ability learners, guiding students through a carefully structured inquiry process. Developed by the Center for Gifted Education at William & Mary, the programme takes students from basic understanding to critical text analysis. For example, Grade 3 pupils develop the ability to comprehend and analyse various reading passages by engaging with activities in the Grade 3 workbook (2nd edition).

The programme includes five student booklets per grade level, each focused on specific reading material types such as short stories, poetry, or nonfiction. Students read high-interest passages and complete skill ladders that promote progression from concrete to higher-order thinking skills including sequencing, cause and effect, classification, inference, and identifying main ideas, aligning with language arts standards.

Description

The Jacob's Ladder Reading Comprehension Program targets reading comprehension skills in high-ability learners by moving students through an inquiry process from basic understanding to critical analyses of texts, using a field-tested method developed by the Center for Gifted Education at William & Mary.

Students in Grade 3 will learn to comprehend and analyze any reading passage after completing the activities in Jacob's Ladder, Grade 3 (2nd ed., previously published as Level 1).

Each set of student workbooks includes 5 student booklets, divided by grade level and area of emphasis (short stories, poetry, nonfiction). Corresponding to the activities in Jacob's Ladder, Grade 3 (2nd ed.), students read high-interest passages, then complete skill ladders connected to the poetry readings to move them from concrete thinking skills to higher-order, critical thinking skills.

The ladders include multiple skills necessary for academic success, covering language arts standards such as sequencing, determining cause and effect, classifying, inferencing, and recognising main ideas. Student workbooks are also available for the short story activities and the nonfiction activities.
