World of Literacy – Achievements (8)

Can be ordered — please contact our office for details!!

World of Literacy is a skill-building reading comprehension program. Lime Level passages are geared towards American 8^th graders (Israeli based native speakers 10^th graders). The units cover a wide range of engaging topics, including Eli Cohen: “Our Man in Damascus”; Diamonds: The Secret of Their Sparkle and Asthma: Symptoms and Treatments.

Each lesson contains questions that are carefully constructed and include both closed-ended questions  and open-ended questions that encourage both written expression and critical thinking skills. Some reading comprehension skills include:

• Identifying the main idea
• Providing textual support
• Differentiating fact from opinion
• Identifying the author’s point of view
• Inferring information from a secondary source

World of Literacy contains a built-in vocabulary curriculum that can stand on its own or can be incorporated into other classroom activities.

A digital teacher’s edition is available separately and includes ideas for related classroom activities and interactive discussions.

A supplemental USB, containing links to online resources, is available separately.

Approved by the Ministry of Education for Native Speakers!
