Equip students with the skills they need to synthesize information from a variety of different text types. Each unit provides multiple text sources that are presented in the following formats, genres, and text types:

  • fiction
  • nonfiction
  • poetry
  • historical fiction
  • science fiction
  • famous quotations
  • dictionary definitions
  • illustrations, diagrams, charts, timelines, and graphs 
  • recipes
  • maps
  • and more

The sources feature text that is full of high-interest information in the areas of science, language, social studies, and everyday life. Within each unit, students must combine the related information from these sources in order to answer multiple-choice questions; respond to writing prompts; complete diagrams, charts, or graphs; and perform other tasks. In doing this, students build and practice the skills needed to analyze and understand complex text:

  • Drawing information from multiple sources.
  • Using higher-order thinking skills to answer questions
  • Locating information that fits a specific criteria.
  • Integrating information from several texts in order to write knowledgeably about a subject.
