Connections: Reading 7 Interactive Student Bundle

Connections: Reading focuses on developing strong reading skills with striving readers using excerpts from on-level literary and informational texts. Grounded in learning science, the program incorporates proven instructional strategies (such as critical reading, differentiation, and formative assessments) to break down learning barriers and support academic growth.

Close reading and targeted skills instruction with scaffolded support is at the heart of the instructional design. As students read, discuss, analyze, and respond to these on-level, high-interest texts, they learn step by step how to unlock meaning. Through multiple reads, students use skilled reading strategies to move from the “what” of the literary piece (central ideas and details), to the “how” (author’s craft), and the “why” (author’s purpose).
