Nonfiction features focus on curriculum-related science and social studies topics, feature academic and domain-specific vocabulary, and nurture the higher-level thinking and analytic reading, writing, and grammar skills demanded by today’s rigorous standards.
The Storyworks Jr subscription I'm requesting will help students in key reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language domains, and is aligned to the Common Core, TEKS, and other rigorous state standards.
Storyworks Jr. will provide students with essential practice in skills such as close reading and critical thinking, main idea, cause/effect, text evidence, compare/contrast, making inferences, and paragraph writing.
Students will benefit from Storyworks Jr. because it the stories in it are highly engaging and interesting to them. For example the current issue will bring rich discussion within small group reading because they've been learning about the destruction of Hurricane Harvey. This in turn will make them more excited to read because the topics and content are current and relevant to their ever changing world.
