READING LEVEL CORRELATIONS

FIRST CONCEPTSThese books focus on

foundational concepts that are the basis for all future

vocabulary acquisition and comprehension; introduction

to basic vocabulary and concepts such as colors,

numbers, letters, same and different, shapes, and

so much more!

EARLY READERThese books feature

accessible language for beginning readers, include

strong photo-text correlation, and address a multitude of

social studies/science topics in a manner that are easy to

comprehend for early readers. They are always written at a 0.9 ATOS level or lower (F&P

B–C) while still being quizzable by Accelerated Reader.

LEVELED READERThese books are aimed at the early elementary reader but

go into a bit more detail than Early Readers and serve as

quick but solid introductions to early elementary topics

such as animals, biographies, and other relevant social

studies, science, and math topics for Grades 1 to 2.

LitLinks is a collection of titles from Gareth Stevens Publishing that inspires student inquiry and invites critical thinking, with paired fiction and nonfiction texts. The familiar format of fiction introduces a topic and gives the reader confidence

to explore and compare its nonfiction counterpart. These paired sets, along with a comprehensive reader resource guide, let students demonstrate what they have learned from blending together narrative and expository elements.

LitLinks paired fiction and nonfiction:

Provides opportunities for students to analyze and compare different perspectives

Develops critical reading and comprehension skills

Supports “thinking across texts” by illustrating how different authors treat the same topic

Builds background knowledge, a wider range of vocabulary, and enhances readers’ comprehension of a specific topic

Contrasts craft and structure of fiction with craft and structure of informational texts

CONNECT FICTION WITH NONFICTION FOR DEEPER LEARNING!

“The books are presented as a double page view just as a paper book will be viewed when held. And the

succeeding pages are viewed by scrolling down rather than clicking forward. This allows much greater visual

acuity and opportunities for understanding. The comments I have received from teachers regarding

the ease of use and applicability for students at grade level, below grade level and those requiring resources

for differentiated learners with various disabilities has been beyond positive.

EPOINTPLUS HAS HIT IT OUT OF THE BALLPARK.”

Sort It Out!Sorting and classifying are two key skills in the early elementary math classroom. Each volume of this valuable series focuses on a sorting category, such as shape, color, and texture, and demonstrates how to arrange objects using that classification. Beginning readers are encouraged to notice similarities and differences in groups of high-interest and familiar objects, such as animals, foods, and toys, while practicing the adjectives that are often employed in sorting and classifying.

SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY


From: Robots in Space

Amazing RobotsAs technology improves, scientists are finding more ways to use robots to do things people can’t. It’s risky to send a person to space or to the bottom of the ocean.

Robots, on the other hand, are made to withstand the toughest scenarios beyond Earth’s atmosphere, deep in the ocean, on the battlefield, and more. Full-color photographs of robotic technology give readers a look at some of the coolest science happening today. Readers learn what these robots can do and how they could change our lives in the future.

From: World War I: Frontline Soldiers and Their Families

Frontline FamiliesStudies of military conflicts are often reduced to numbers of casualties and battlefield maneuvers. But anyone who has a loved one who has served in the armed forces knows there are innumerable personal accounts that are never printed in books or reported in the news. These stories don’t only come from the frontlines but soldiers’ families as well. This absorbing series relates the course of several famous wars, from the American Revolution to the War in Afghanistan, but also highlights the daily experiences of soldiers and those back home. Readers are provided with insight into the far‑reaching effects of military action.
