17 separate downloads after confirmed payment
Seven print student PDFs, seven matching fillable PDFs, separate Teacher Notes and Answer Key, a Teacher Guide with standards and accommodations, and the digital companion. Grades 6 through 10 contain 36 words each; Grades 11 and 12 contain 35 each. Each packet has four instructional source days, 15 assessment questions, and a two page RACE response with 40 ruled lines. Ten focus words per grade support intensive study while the remaining bank is revisited over later cycles.
Rigor with access
Scholars interpret meaning in context, distinguish current word building from historical development, compare source details, qualify claims, explain limits, and apply words in new situations. Word histories are checked anchor studies and guided reference investigations; the secondary set does not claim to supply a complete etymology for every bank word.
NJSLS and CCLS alignment
Student packets identify grade or grade band NJSLS ELA and corresponding CCLS/CCSS connections. Teacher guidance maps vocabulary, reference use, textual evidence, explanatory or argumentative writing, and selected interdisciplinary inquiry practices to actual tasks. High school standards use the official two grade bands while the packets provide separate grade progressions.
ELL, WIDA, IEP, and Section 504 supports
WIDA-informed language scaffolds include home-language planning, visuals, word banks, sentence frames, partner rehearsal, and supported explanation. Teachers select enlarged print, processing time, scribing, AAC, accessible response modes, breaks, or assessment setting as appropriate to the learner’s actual IEP or 504 plan. The materials are classroom resources, not an official WIDA assessment or an individualized plan.
Reading and digital options
The Grades 3 through 5 and Grades 6 through 12 reading libraries preserve complete source texts with Supported, Standard, and Extended support choices, vocabulary previews, numbered steps, Previous and Next controls, a full passage option, optional read aloud, voice and speed controls, and comprehension responses. Supported adds word help and smaller steps; Extended adds analysis. These support choices are not certified reading scores.
Fillable PDF written responses have a 1,000 character limit per field, with RACE continuation areas. The HTML companions also limit each written field to 1,000 characters. They support export and printing; teachers score writing. Voice availability varies by browser and device. No microphone or private diagnoses are required.
Pacing and use
The complete word bank is taught over repeated cycles. A five day RST cycle is not a claim of mastery of every listed word. Select a manageable focus set, use words in reading and discussion, require explanations, and revisit them after a delay.
