Jacob's Ladder Reading Comprehension Program
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. This is achieved using a field-tested method developed by the Center for Gifted Education at William & Mary.
Students in grade 3 will learn to comprehend and analyse 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, and 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 short story readings. This process moves 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 poetry activities and the nonfiction activities.
