Signature Reading 

Have limited vocabulary 




What Works 

A particularly useful reading 

resource is the Jamestown 

Signature Reading series. 

This series effectively keys in 

on reading skills, and on 

teaching and learning 

strategies. The readings are 

short, appeal to a wide 

audience, cover a variety of 

genres, and give students 

the tools to approach 

different types of reading. 

The graphic organizers are 

particularly useful in 

teaching students specific 

skills, for example, 

sequencing skills and also in 

teaching them text 

structures such as cause and 

effect organization. The 

questions at the end of each 

reading are a quick way to 

monitor and track 

comprehension, and 

students see, in a very 

concrete way, their own 

improvement over time.

Comprehension Skills 

Improve fiction and nonfiction comprehension 

Move beyond skill-and-drill with integrated writing activities 

This innovative program helps students devote effort to only those specific 

comprehension skills that give them trouble. 

Five-part lesson uses teach—practice—apply—assess format 

What Works 

[The QAR] strategy 

helps students answer 

questions about a text 

by having them analyze 

the relationship between 

the question and the 

answer. . . Some answers are 

stated directly in the text 

(Right There). Some answers 

are stated in words that 

differ from the words of the 

question and may be located 

anywhere in the text (Think 

and Search). Some answers 

are implied: they are based 

on clues the author has 

provided (Author and Me). 

And some answers use the 

information in the text as a 

starting point for developing 

the reader’s own ideas (On 

My Own).

Critical Reading 

Motivate students with our best-selling series 

of high-interest selections 

Teaching Tip 

Try these ideas for using The 

Outer Edge, The Wild Side, 

and Critical Reading in your 

class: 

• All three series have the 

same instructional design. 

Only the readability levels 

differ. Divide students up 

into three groups and 

assign titles based on 

student need. 

• Let students choose the 

books that interest them 

most. Encourage them 

to do Internet research to 

find out more about a 

selection topic. 

• Group students according 

to themes, such as 

courage, strange events, or 

the unexplained, across 

readability levels. Help 

them prepare group 

multimedia reports on 

their selections. 

Motivate students with high-interest selections 

at a higher readability level 


Improve critical thinking 

Critical Reading, a perennial favourite for middle school and high school 

students of all ability levels, fascinates with astounding and intriguing stories 

of real-life adventure. Comprehension questions reinforce literal 

understanding, while critical thinking questions encourage students to 

consider the author’s purpose, make inferences, identify cause and effect, 

and make predictions. The selections in the Critical Reading series are at 

the highest level of readability in 

our triple-threat offering which 

also includes The Outer Edge 

and The Wild Side.

story clues)

What Works 

Students comprehend a 

selection better when they 

make connections between 

the text and their own lives. 

Students can connect to the 

text by thinking about how 

ideas in the text relate to: 

• their own experiences 

(text to self) 

• other things they have 

read (text to text) 

• the world they live in 

(text to world)

Commentary 

Federal resources for research 

into the development of 

reading and writing abilities 

throughout the later school 

years seems to be drying up . 

. . Should we fail to continue 

to invest in understanding the 

learning needs of older as 

well as young students, we 

not only risk abandoning the 

current generation of young 

people, but also, because the 

skills needed for reading 

academic texts are different 

from those required in the 

early years, we risk 

shortchanging future 

generations as well.

What Works 

Classroom practice that 

encourages repeated oral 

reading with feedback and 

guidance leads to meaningful 

improvement in the reading 

expertise of students. 

—National Reading Panel 

Report (2000) 

Students learn to read smoothly, 

accurately, and expressively 

Improve vocabulary and 

comprehension through repeated 

readings 

Improve oral reading skills and 

provide immediate feedback 

through self-assessment 

Students work in pairs and at 

comfortable reading levels, practice 

reading aloud a narrative fiction or 

nonfiction passage from the 

nonconsumable Reader. A partner 

uses the consumable Reader’s 

Record, marking errors and scoring 

the oral reading. Repeated readings
