Collections: 6th-8th

6^th through 8^th grade Collections Textbooks are both rigorous and interactive as they have online resources, related subject links, audio stories and vocabulary terminology, and similar articles and literature of theme and subject.

Each Collections Textbook is comprised of 6 separate collections, and all have an overall theme that the stories within are related to.  Within each collection for each grade level, students will read fiction and non-fiction short stories, novel exerpts, poetry, subject articles, and related informational text.  All Collection Textbooks include all the genres of literature, writing, and story elements.

In addition to reading comprehension, Collections offers close reads, characterization, citing text, annotation, expository elements, literary elements, written genre, and oral commentaries.  Each Collection includes relative performance tasks such as text analyzing, visual presentations, use of context clues, and multi-media resources via the internet and app links.
