Longman Cornerstone Pockets, forKindergarten, builds phonemic awarenessand vocabulary, as well as oral language through engaging, activity-based lessons creating a solid foundation for systematic literacy development.

Longman Cornerstone, for grades 1 and 2, bridges literacy and English languagedevelopment through explicit instructionand practice in phonics and phonemicawareness, vocabulary, fluency, and reading comprehension.

For grades 3–5, Longman Cornerstone(Levels A, B, and C) is a flexible three-level programthat accelerates students’ academic achievementthrough scaffolded, sustained instruction and language development strategies.


Each unit begins with a

Big Question that provides

a thematic starting point for

building understanding.

The Big Question serves as a

framework for language and

vocabulary acquisition as well as

concept development. As students

discuss the Big Question

throughout the unit, they

demonstrate their understanding

of the content and develop

transferable academic skills.

It all starts with a question…

Six thematic units per level organizedaround a Big Question provide a startingpoint for building understanding of keyconcepts and academic vocabulary.

Each unit concludes with a variety of projects designed to provide evidence of understanding for built-indifferentiated instruction.

LessChallenging

MoreChallenging

Each reading in the unit asks studentsto consider different aspects of theBig Question, leading to deeper levels of understanding.

…and ends with results!


Researchers agree vocabulary

knowledge is the single best

predictor of students’ academic

achievement across the curriculum.

Longman Cornerstone provides

explicit vocabulary instruction

throughout all levels of the series.

“Numerous studies have documented the positive impact of

direct, explicit vocabulary instructionon both immediate word learning and

longer-term reading comprehension.”

Baker, Kame’enui, & Simmons

Accelerate AcademicVocabulary

In grades 1 and 2, Sight Wordsand Story Words are taught atthe beginning of each reading.

In levels A, B, and C, criticalAcademic Vocabulary derivedfrom the academic word list andcontent-specific Key Words areexplicitly taught before each readingto develop word knowledge.

In levels A, B, and C, thematic vocabulary ispresented in the Wordsto Know feature at thebeginning of each unit.

Additional practice andactivities for reinforcementare available in the StudentPractice Book.


Reading strategies are explicitly

taught in a comprehensible, step-

by-step format, ensuring students

know when and how to apply the

strategies to their reading.

A balance of literature and

informational text provides the

perfect blend of high-interest

reading with a high incidence

of academic vocabulary.
