The Affective Jacob's Ladder Reading Comprehension Program uses a models approach to scaffold student learning and promote inquiry-based discussions of texts. This series of Jacob's Ladder focuses specifically on supporting advanced students' social-emotional needs through the discussion of reading selections in the following genres: short stories and media, poetry, and biographies.
Each set of student workbooks includes 5 student booklets, divided by grade level and area of emphasis. Corresponding to the activities in Affective Jacob's Ladder, Grade 3, students read high-interest passages, then complete skill ladders connected to the picture book, short story, and media readings and activities to move them from lower to higher level skills of self-awareness, metacognition, and goal setting. The ladders include multiple skills necessary for success and integrate reading comprehension and analysis skills with affective and social-emotional needs, as students are asked to apply themes, character or real-life experiences, and lessons from texts to their own lives. Student workbooks are also available for Part II of the picture book, short stories, and media activities, and the poetry and biography readings.
