Jacob's Ladder is a learning journey for students that begins with targeted short readings and moves through an inquiry process from basic understanding to critical analyses of the texts read. There are three levels available that are targeted to students in 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade, but can be used at different grade levels depending on student ability.
The units are designed to enhance reading comprehension and build critical thinking skills. Tasks have been organized by skill ladders with questions and activities within each. Ladder rungs are organized to increase complexity in intellectual demand. The skill ladders in Jacob's Ladder correspond with the higher level, critical thinking skills targeted in the William & Mary language arts units; both are based on Paul's (1992) Elements of Reasoning model.
