WELCOMEto Pearson Literature for Indiana

We are excited to present Pearson Literature, a powerful and transitional program designed to prepare students for college and career and the Indiana State Standards. This lesson planner shows how Pearson Literature covers the Indiana State Standards.

Pearson Literature addresses the instructional shifts that the Standards require and gives educators and students a clear pathway to success by providing a unique gradual release model of instruction.

Additionally, focus is paid to developing students’ close reading ability to prepare them for the rigorous tasks they will experience on next generation assessments. The program also includes embedded Text Sets that are the heart of our story. Students will:

• build content knowledge by reading a range of complex texts—literary and informational;• provide written and oral responses to prompts that require students to cite evidence from the text;• encounter complex texts and analyze and internalize the texts’ academic language and

vocabulary.

With one-to-one digital capability, built with HTML5 so you can access content anywhere, anytime, and on any device, Pearson Literature accommodates all your instructional needs and will grow with you and your students whether in print or in a digital environment.

We are excited about what Pearson Literature can do to help teachers and students be successful. Our promise is to help you achieve your goal of preparing students for college, the workplace, and lifelong learning.

This Indiana Skills Navigator Lesson Planner shows how Pearson Literature covers the Indiana State Standards.

Skills Navigator: Overview

The Skills Navigator provides a detailed look at the specific features, workshops, skills, and standards covered in each unit. Use these pages to guide you through planning your instruction for a day, unit, or entire year.

The instructional model in Pearson Literature is data driven and provides flexibility based on your students’ needs. Therefore, the pacing recommendations on the following pages can be adjusted to meet the needs of your classroom. For example, the recommended number of days for Part 1: Setting Expectations is four days. Depending on your students and their ability to closely read a text, you may choose to use Part 1 for only one day or for as many as five days.

Another example of flexible pacing is shown with Part 2: Guided Exploration. This Part provides scaffolded instruction focused on skills. Again, depending on your students’ needs, you may choose to teach one selection over a period of four days or teach three selections over a course of twelve days. The Pacing Recommendations are provided as a guide, but you know your students best and should chart the appropriate pathway through the programs based on students’ needs.

INTRODUCTORY UNITThe Introductory Unit can be used at any time through the year to teach essential skills and standards. The chart below provides an overview of the features of this unit.
