Description
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. This is accomplished using a field-tested method developed by the Center for Gifted Education at William & Mary. Students in grades K-1 will learn to comprehend and analyse any reading passage after completing the activities in Jacob's Ladder, Grades K-1 (2nd ed.).
Each set of student workbooks includes 5 student booklets, divided by grade level and area of emphasis (short stories, poetry). Corresponding to the instructions and first section of short story activities outlined in Jacob's Ladder, Grades K-1 (2nd ed.), students read high-interest passages, then complete skill ladders connected to the short story readings. This method helps 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.
