The gradual-release-model emphasizes building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction, reading and writing activities that are grounded in evidence, and providing texts that are appropriately complex and focus on academic vocabulary. Instructional Model The heart of the gradual-release Instructional Model is a focus on Text Sets. These Text Sets consist of an Anchor Text with Related readings of multiple genres, centered on a compelling topic. The goal is for students to form a coherent position on the topic by performing research, holding discussions, and writing an argumentative analysis. The Instructional Model reflects the learning process as it addresses the instructional shifts in literacy: Part 1 models expectations and strategies for the Close Reading Activities students will perform in the unit; Part 2 provides scaffolded support for reading complex texts, including support for grammar and vocabulary acquisition and for citing text evidence; Part 3 enables students to demonstrate learning without scaffolds. In this section, students build knowledge of a topic through analysis of multiple-genre texts and media in a Text Set; Part 4 presents wholly independent reading opportunities. Close Reading. Personalized Learning Additionally, an instructional focus is paid to developing students' close reading abilities to prepare them for the rigorous tasks they will encounter in upcoming assessments. Powerful instructional tools are designed to personalize learning for every student, allowing teachers to customize instruction and differentiate resources. 2
