About this book:

The Journey to Meaning: Comprehension and Critique is a virtual "one-stop shop" for teachers interested in meeting the Common Core State Standards. It's packed with powerful lesson sets that meet the standards -assessment rubrics, support for ELLs and diverse learners, and tips on making high tech variations on instruction for grades K, 1, and 2. Journey to Meaning guides teachers and students through three rich, dynamic lesson sets which focus on high-quality texts from diverse genres in the primary grades to foster critical thinking skills and help students develop the ability to dive deeply into a written text or an image, and uncover character complexity, central themes, messages and meaning, and point of view. The lessons sets are:

Grade K-A Thousand Words: Close Reading of Illustrations and Photographs

Grade 1-Getting to Know You: Characters in Narrative Stories

Grade 2-Seeing It My Way and Your Way: Point of View

The lesson sets follow a staircase model for curriculum development-every lesson set in every grade level builds on the other-and each lesson is based on the author's structured Warm Up, Teach, Try, Clarify framework that shows step-by-step how to make teaching points explicit for students.

The Journey to Meaning: Comprehension and Critique helps cultivate students who think deeply about the meaning of what they read and choose and use skills and strategies with purpose and flexibility.
