Our skill-based courses are intentionally scaffolded for

or finding the main idea.
Our Evidence-Based Readings course help students
practice citing evidence from a text and our Essential Readings
course explores diverse works of literature that teachers are likely to cover in
high school and beyond.
The courses shown here were designed specifically with
emergent readers in mind.
Albert even covers more than 50 of the most commonly-taught
works of literature. Let's
take a look at our skill-based Grammar course.
Here is a topic on verbs.
Foundational questions cover the basics such as selecting an action verb.
Advanced questions test more complex concepts,
such as finding two linking verbs. Our
other skill-based course is Vocabulary.
Let's learn the word "aroma".
Image based questions activate schema while simple written prompts prime
students to recall what they already know.
Later questions assess how well students retain
their new vocabulary.
Each Leveled Readings passage set is built around an engaging
essential question,
such as this group of passages exploring whether humans should upload our brains
onto machines.
Through scaffolded passages written at distinct Lexile levels,
every student can improve comprehension and participate in class
discussion. In contrast,
questions in Short Readings are grouped by reading skill.
In this topic, called Make Inferences,
students infer information about the future of smartphone
screens. Next,
our Evidence-Based Readings course provides focused practice on citing
text evidence. Each prompt has two questions:
make a claim and find the evidence. Additionally, Essential
Readings is home to major works in the Western Canon and beyond. Here,
we find questions on The Lottery.
This prompt asks students to connect the setting with the
character of Mrs. Hutchinson. Finally, our
dozens of literature courses improve student comprehension and analysis.
Let's check out The Scarlet letter.
Chapter Analysis questions cover plot details and reading
comprehension to ensure students understood the reading.
Literary Analysis questions include social-historical context,
motifs, literary devices, and more.
This Social-Historical Context question builds cross-disciplinary
