This reading comprehension textbook helps your learners increase their general knowledge in life science and develop strong reading comprehension skills to transition to ASE, GED, HiSET, or technical training. Books 1 and 2 align with and go beyond the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) for Adult Education, the College and Career Readiness Standards, and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) expectations, ensuring your ESL/ELL students can read, understand, and apply content-based lessons and academic concepts and instructions. This textbook also covers GED and HiSET life science standards.
Teaching Frameworks Featured in This Textbook
The textbook applies two evidence-based teaching frameworks: Bloom's Taxonomy and SQ3R Reading Method.
Content-Based Learning
Book 1 integrates reading comprehension skills development with life science content, providing learners with the background knowledge and academic skills needed for success in ASE, GED, HiSET, and technical courses. The content addresses core science topics, including:
- Ecosystems and Interactions: Understanding ecosystems, food chains, biomes, and relationships among organisms, including human impact.
- Cells and Heredity: Cell structure and function, cellular processes, DNA, inheritance, and basic genetics.
- Human Body Systems: Information about the major body systems.
In summary, Book 1 presents 6 Units and 26 reading lessons on life science to equip learners with strategies to identify main ideas, uncover details, make inferences, summarize content, apply knowledge, and understand authors' perspectives and key concepts. Through these lessons, the learners will gain the skills and confidence to navigate academic content and build knowledge in life science. See Book 2 for more content and to cover the rest of the life science standards.
