Pausing and Predicting
Pausing and predicting is a cognitive process that helps build critical bridges from what is known to what is coming in the text. As we read, we make dozens of guesses about content, context, and overall text structure. The Pausing and Predicting strategy will guide students as they learn to make predictions while reading.

Literacy Standards In Action
We've mapped our literacy lessons and reading, speaking, and writing skills to state standards, Common Core, and NGSS. The standards are "the what" to teach. Our lessons are "the how" to meet the expectations defined by the standards. Click on the links below to view our quick reference table that maps standards to literacy lessons.
