Let's break each one down!
Thinkcerca’s platform provides a Core ELAR Program for grades 6-12 and a supplemental literacy curriculum for grades 3-12 across English, Social Studies, Science, and Math with a strong focus on rigorous close reading and writing across content areas to provide a common language, analytics, and approach across the district. Watch a Core Curriculum Tour here.
Writing Across the Curriculum integrates close reading, critical thinking, and writing across subjects with one proven framework, featuring:
Skill Lessons are interactive lessons that provide grade-level instruction and practice in critical literacy skills. These lessons give students the opportunity to dynamically engage with texts and include scaffolded checks and graded assessments for measuring understanding.
Direct Instruction Lessons allow teachers to introduce key skills and concepts. Each core lesson has a Direct instruction lesson paired with it.
Reading Practice lessons contain high-interest, authentic informational texts — featuring videos, graphs, charts, and other visual sources — that build up students’ discipline-specific background knowledge.
At the end of each Reading Practice lesson, students answer five multiple choice questions, which teachers can use to gauge comprehension. These questions also mirror the language and format of questions commonly found in state assessments
Longer Works complement ThinkCERCA’s Core ELA program and can be used in conjunction with existing 28-day Core units as supplemental reading, or instead of existing Core units. Optional and essential activities can be included or removed according to your instructional needs and classroom pacing.
Our Custom Lessons experience allows you to combine ThinkCERCA's framework for teaching critical thinking and expressing arguments with readings and writing prompts of your own creation.
Using our Browse feature, you can filter by grade and search using keywords to easily search through hundreds of Writing Lessons, Reading Practice, Direct Instruction, and Skills lessons.
