Introduction Engage Literacyis a comprehensive literacy programme that can be used with an individual, small-group and/or whole-class focus.The core elements of a balanced literacy programme have been covered, i.e., written language (reading and writing) and oral language (speaking and listening).The programme covers Guided Reading Levels1-36, and includes both fiction and non-fiction texts.

Engage Literacybrings enjoyment and humour to reading while providing teachers and children with carefully levelled texts. Through engaging and content-rich fiction and non-fiction texts, children will become active participants in their own learning and in the reading process.

TheEngage Literacycomponents provide bothdigitalandnon-digitalteaching and learning materials that promote differentiated learningso that all children can learn effectively, regardless of differences in ability levels. All components of the programme at levels 27 to 36 are built on the literacy skills and knowledge essential to children at these levels, i.e. oral language, comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and writing.Teachers can be assured that by implementingEngage Literacyin their classrooms, their children’s individual learning needs will be met effectively.

Engage LiteracyComponents

Engage Literacyis part of a larger comprehensive resource that adheres to key findings of the extensive research base that has been built up over recent years on the use of levelled readers in the development of literacy.The foundation ofEngage Literacyis based on many years of best-practice classroom teaching and the research behind guided reading instruction, comprehension strategies and literacy development for children reading for meaning. From comprehension and vocabulary instruction to higher level synthesising of literary and informational texts, the programme supports teachers as they help children move through a developmental progression by providing multiple opportunities to match children with text at their instructional levels. In addition toEngage Literacy at levels 27 to 36, additional materials are available for levels 1 to 26.Texts at these earlier levels use carefully graded vocabulary lists, and words are introduced and reinforced at a 1:20 ration. For example, the word ‘go’ is introduced at Level 1 and ‘going’ at Level 4. Children therefore pick up a bank of high frequency words, providing them with a smoother transition as they are introduced to these higher-level texts. Components at these early reading levels include: • Teacher’s Resource Book, • E-books, • Digital Posters featuring rhymes, poems, songs and charts for Levels 1 to 15, • A Comprehension Strategy Kit for Levels 9–15 that addresses the comprehension needs of children, • Oral Language Big Books to promote oral language and visual literacy skills, •books for levels 1 to 15 to support children as they learn their îrst 100 sight words in context, andWonder Words • Wonder Words E-books.

Fiction and non-fiction texts for reading levels 27-30 All levelled texts, both fiction and non-fiction, enable children to build on their prior knowledge and make new connections based on these previous understandings.Engage Literacyalso includesextendingvocabulary(levels 27–30) oracademic vocabulary(levels 31–36) word lists, which are essential for readers to successfully understand and complete academic tasks independently.

Fiction and non-fiction texts

A balance oftext formsandtext typeshas been included acrossEngage Literacy.

Fiction Narrative:purpose—to entertain, examples are as follows: •Fairy tales:stories with an element of magic that are make-believe; often they include magical creatures •Fantasy:stories that are in strange settings that appear to be in another world; magical or unreal activities take place •Historical îction:stories that are made up, but based on a speciîc time period; may detail actual events in a historical setting but include made-up characters •Mystery:often a detective story that involves a crime to be solved •Plays:stories that are acted out on stage •Pourquoi tale:legends that explain why something is the way it is in nature; often they include animals •Realistic îction:stories that, while îctional, could actually happen in real life •Science îction:often these îctional stories are set in the future and include scientiîc advances that could be possible

Non-fiction Report:purpose—to provide information about a particular topic, e.g. report, descriptive report, investigative report, scientific/technical report, newspaper article

Transactional:purpose—to communicate and clarify, e.g. survey, questionnaire, complaint, apology, greetings card, interview, introduction, invitation, letter, speech, e-mail, newsletter,‘five whys’ (‘Why are you eating an apple? Because I like apples. Why do you like apples?’ and so on until five connected questions have been asked)

Teacher’s Resource

EachTeacher’s Resourceprovides comprehensive, easy-to-use teaching notes with an accompanying BLM and Oral Reading Record for each title.TheTeacher’s Resourceprovides different avenues of acquiring knowledge so that all children can learn effectively, regardless of differences in ability levels.

There are two lesson plans, or parts, per book. Each set of teaching notes provides: •Getting started with predictions:activities that introduce children to the topic/s in the text. •Reading the text:the teacher encourages children to dive right into the text and encourages the use of strategies while reading—making connections, clarifying, visualising, questioning, and summarising; also included in this section are vocabulary activities related to academic and process-oriented terms.

•After reading:detailed teaching notes with ideas for activities, discussion and questioning that can occur after the text has been read; children are led through the focused upon comprehension strategy with questions that align to depth of knowledge; the gradual release of responsibility model provides scaffolding upon introduction and removes teacher support during review; also included in this section are vocabulary strategy activities. •English Language Learners:tasks designed to help with the language development of children who do not have English as their îrst language in the home environment; this section provides a review of trickier aspects of the main lesson with additional scaffolds. •Assessment:ideas on how to track and keep a record of individual learning paths. A Oral Reading Record has been provided for each title. •One BLMper bookis embedded in the teaching notes.The BLM can be used individually, in small groups or with the whole class and should be used with the comprehension focus; children are also encouraged to keep a learner’s notebook. • There is oneOral Reading Recordper book that appears at the end of the guide.TheOral Reading Recordis a passage of about 200–300 words from the text. It can be used to assess children’s reading uency.

Each title’s teaching notes and BLM comprise a range of activities that can be completed with the texts.The skills addressed are: •Comprehension—incorporating literal or factual, inferential or interpretive, evaluative/analysing and applied/creative comprehension within speciîc comprehension skill sets including: text evidence, main idea, details, theme, central idea, lesson, author’s message, paraphrasing/explaining meaning, summarising, comparing and contrasting, causes and effects, story elements, plot development, character analysis, point of view, purpose, text structure, making an inference/drawing a conclusion, critical thinking, genre characteristics, text features, text-to-text connections. •Vocabulary Strategies—sufîxes/preîxes, synonyms/antonyms, îgurative language (metaphor, simile, idiom and personiîcation), precise language, Latin and Greek roots, tone, words in context, craft. •and Academic VocabularyExtending Vocabulary —incorporating domain-speciîc and process-oriented words. •Text conventions—features of text including charts and imagery as well as font emphasis.

How to useEngage Literacyin your classroom

EXAMPLE READING LESSON

Getting started with predictions (5 minutes)

Ensure children are exposed to varied text types, e.g. report, procedural text, description, discussion, explanation, exposition (persuasive/argument), recount, response, narrative. Share the text, and discuss one or more of the following.This should be a quick discussion so children can dive right into the text: • the structure of the text (layout, e.g. storybook; text genre; labels, headings, fact boxes, diagrams, etc.) • predictions of what the text will be about.

Reading the text (30 to 35 minutes) Ask children to read the text independently, giving them strategies to consider as they read. As the book will be read across two lessons, suggest a stopping point for children, using the lesson as a point of reference. Strategy supports may include the following: • encouraging children to use strategies while reading, including rereading, reading on, using contextual cues and knowledge of content. • making connections to the content. • monitoring as they read and stopping to ask clarifying questions related to the word or sentence level or to a segment of text that seems unclear; children should be encouraged to record their thoughts in a learner’s notebook. • visualising what they read, which might be a description or the events in a story. • questioning what they have read, of which they can record in a learner’s notebook. • summarising the chunk of text they have read.

After reading the text, review the extending or academic vocabulary listed in the lesson. If children are familiar with the terms, focus on terms questioned by children or not supported by the text.

After reading (10 to 15 minutes)

Through a gradual release, support on the main comprehension strategy is provided.When the comprehension focus is initially introduced, there is more support and a gradual release of responsibility model is built into the review lessons. Questions relate to Depth of Knowledge (DOK) and encourage close reading and

analysis. It is also suggested that children work through the questions using the BLM or a learner’s notebook. In this way, they can record text evidence, inferences and conclusions in order to synthesise their thinking. Another After readingactivity includes vocabulary strategy support. Having read the text, children should be able to answer questions related to vocabulary using the vocabulary strategy taught.

Small-group suggestions (30 to 35 minutes)

Develop fluid, skill-based learning groups through the following activities:

•Group 1 Teaching Group: children work with the teacher on a guided reading or reciprocal teaching activity using Engage Literacy. •Guided reading:introduce the book, walk through the text discussing pictures/key words/text conventions, read text, discuss text. •Reciprocal teaching:predicting, clarifying, generating questions, summarising. • Work with children for 10 to 15 minutes. Get them to complete one of the activities or BLM tasks related to the text. Spend the remaining time in the lesson circulating among the other groups, teaching and refining reading strategies that the children are using. •TasksGroups 2 and 3 Independent Reading : children work independently on tasks that help develop reading strategies (e.g. read silently, summarise texts, writing and so on).

• These activities can be varied to suit the needs of the children, e.g. the activities can be related to: - a text the children have been reading, using the Teacher’s Resourcesuggested tasks. - a text the whole class has been listening to. - a ‘stand-alone’ reading activity that does not relate to a particular text. •Group 4 E-books: children interact withEngage Literacy E-booksindependently.

Whole-class sharing (5 to 10 mins)

Encourage children to share the skills and discoveries that were developed over the lesson through discussion/ demonstration. Based on your observations during the
