Read • Reason • Write: New York High-Interest Critical Thinking Practice Read • Reason • Write: New York is designed to improve student performance in a number of key reading skills. Each book contains high-interest reading selections related to a given theme. These selections form the base for a range of reading comprehension and writing activities, including graphic organizers to help students sort out their thoughts. Student Books • Ascending readability levels are found throughout each book, starting slightly below and building to a high on-grade level. This approach uses rigorous text to “stretch” students’ reading comprehension, as is required by state standards based on the Common Core. • Multiple themed books per grade level with fiction and nonfiction passages serve to motivate readers. Motivation is a key attribute of engaged readers in Concept Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI). • Each book contains two review lessons that require students to think about several selections at one time—synthesize, generalize, and conceptualize. Application of this type of higher-level thinking skill is a fundamental part of the Common Core. Teacher’s Guides Suggested activities, discussions, and/or projects follow each lesson to promote the development of critical thinking skills and concept development. Just like the CCLS, students are asked to use a variety of resources to complete tasks. Level A, Extreme Sports 24 NEW YORK CCLS | Reading & ELA Grades 1–5
