How Storyworks Aligns with the Science of Reading
Developing a rich vocabulary with deep understanding of how words work plus building background knowledge to access texts are two key elements that the science of reading has shown are crucial for becoming a skilled reader. And Storyworks strongly supports both.
From vocabulary slideshows and games to skill-building activities, Storyworks invites readers to dig into the meanings of words, read them in multiple contexts, and use them in their own speaking and writing. Three features in the magazine—the Mini Read; One Word, 3 Ways; and Root Power!—specifically focus on learning synonyms and antonyms, multiple-meaning words, and Greek and Latin roots in context.
Our articles explore curricular social studies and science topics, helping students grow their knowledge base—and sparking their curiosity so they want to keep learning. To give them what they need to know to access a text, articles are accompanied by powerful videos and Background Builder slideshows. Text features like photos and maps also help build knowledge, while our popular Research Kits guide students to extend their knowledge on specific topics.
