MORE, created by the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s READS Lab, is a supplemental curriculum designed build important literacy skills such as students’ language and schemas through exploring science and social studies topics.
During this activity, students brainstorm what they know about a given topic. After engaging with text, they revisit their brainstorm and identify words, ideas, etc. that were used in the text.
The Lexile Framework for Listening measures students’ listening skills using audio passages and comprehension questions that assess the students’ ability to identify the main idea, supporting details, and make inferences.
