Scholastic English 3D is Aligned to the Common Core State Standards

Key Points from the Common Core State Standards	English 3D Alignment
Reading:
Through challenging informational texts students build knowledge, gain insights, explore possibilities, and broaden their perspective.	Nonfiction readings were selected to provoke critical thinking and discussion and to help students read to evaluate information and data.
Language:
Students will grow their vocabularies through a mix of conversations, direct instruction, and reading.	Daily routines build students’ vocabularies with both high-utility and topic-related academic words. English 3D builds proficiency of language through daily opportunities for written response and academic discussions in pairs, small groups, and whole class.
Writing:
Students must possess the ability to write logical arguments based on substantive claims, sound reasoning, and relevant evidence. Research is also emphasized since written analysis and presentation of findings are so critical.	English 3D includes direct instruction in summarizing, justification, argument, and research. Students must use data and text evidence to support their claims in writing and speaking.
Speaking & Listening:
An important focus is academic discussion in one-on-one, small group, and whole-class settings.	Students receive daily opportunities to listen, reflect, and discuss ideas with peers. The English 3D Teaching Guide provides structured routines for student collaboration in pairs, small groups, and as a whole class.
