Common  Core  Resources  

 Let's  start  with  the  Common  Core  resources  available  on  Pearson  Realize™.    Common  Core  101  is  a  tool  that  will  help  you  understand  what  you  need  to  know  about  the  Common  Core  State  Standards,  how  you  can  be  sure  your  instruction  serves  the  intent  of  the  Common  Core,  and  how  Reading  Street™  will  help  you  meet  the  goals  of  the  Common  Core.      Common  Core  101  focuses  on  key  standards  and  explains  what  they  are,  why  they  are  important,  and  how  Reading  Street™  helps  you  guide  students  in  meeting  the  goals  of  the  standards.  To  access  Common  Core  101  on  Pearson  Realize™,  go  to  the  Reading  Street™  Table  of  Contents,  and  click  Show  teacher  resources.  Then,  select  Common  Core  101  in  the  resources  list.    The  College  and  Career  Readiness  Planners,  or  CCR  Planners,  are  tools  you  can  use  to  plan  for  each  week  of  instruction.  These  planners  provide  correlations  between  the  Common  Core  State  Standards  and  the  Reading  Street™  content  for  each  week  of  instruction.  To  access  the  CCR  Planners  on  Pearson  Realize™,  select  the  unit  from  the  Table  of  Contents  and  click  Show  teacher  resources.  Then,  select  CCR/SB  Planners  in  the  resources  list.    To  help  you  assess  how  students  are  making  progress  toward  College  and  Career  Readiness,  use  the  CCR  Assessment  Guide,  which  is  also  located  in  the  teacher  resources  list.  This  guide  provides  information  about  the  format  of  College  and  Career  Readiness  tests  and  how  you  can  use  Reading  Street™  assessments  to  give  students  practice  with  unique  test  item  formats.

Locate  Content  

Pearson  Realize™  provides  point-­‐of-­‐use  access  to  lesson  content  and  instructional  resources.  From  the  unit  view,  you'll  select  a  week  of  instruction,  and  then  choose  a  specific  lesson.  Once  you  select  the  lesson,  all  of  the  resources  you'll  need  for  the  lesson,  including  the  Teacher's  Edition,  Student  Edition,  and  supplemental  resources,  will  appear.    When  you  select  the  eText  within  a  specific  lesson,  you'll  be  directed  to  the  first  page  of  the  lesson  so  you  can  quickly  begin  to  plan  or  deliver  instruction.    Powerful  search  tools  help  you  find  the  content  you  need  by  standard  or  keyword.  To  search  by  standard,  click  Standards  at  the  top  of  the  page.  Next,  select  the  desired  standard.  A  results  page  will  display  all  of  the  activities  and  assessments  that  are  aligned  to  the  standard.

Customize  Content  

 Pearson  Realize™  allows  you  to  easily  modify  content  to  meet  your  students'  needs.  You  have  the  option  to  add,  delete,  or  rearrange  content  within  each  lesson.    To  customize  content,  choose  a  lesson,  and  then  select  the  Customize  drop-­‐down  menu.  If  you'd  like  to  add  content,  select  Edit  from  the  drop-­‐down  menu.    Navigate  to  the  appropriate  resource  and  click  Add.  You  have  the  option  to:  

•   upload  a  file  from  your  computer;  •   insert  a  link;  •   add  a  title;  •   leave  a  note  for  your  students;  or  •   add  more  available  content  items.  

 For  example,  to  help  meet  the  needs  of  English  language  learners  in  your  classroom,  you  may  choose  to  insert  a  link  to  an  external  Web  resource  to  help  build  background  knowledge  on  a  topic  relevant  to  this  week's  reading  selection.    Leaving  notes  for  your  students  allows  you  to  provide  additional  directions,  reinforce  instruction,  or  provide  personal  learning  support  to  students.    To  rearrange  content,  you'll  follow  the  same  steps  needed  to  add  content.  Choose  a  lesson  and  then  select  the  Customize  drop-­‐down  menu.  From  here,  select  Rearrange  and  simply  drag  and  drop  lesson  content  into  the  desired  order.    If  you'd  like  to  delete  content,  click  the  Remove  button  next  to  the  content  or  instructional  resource  you'd  like  to  remove  from  the  lesson.    In  addition  to  adding  or  deleting  content,  you  can  also  customize  Reading  Street™  assessments.  From  the  Table  of  Contents,  select  the  Create  Content  drop-­‐down  menu  and  then  select  Build  a  Test.  Pearson  Realize™  walks  you  through  the  steps  to  customize  the  assessment  to  best  suit  your  needs.

Differentiate  Instruction  

 You  can  assign  activities  and  assessments  to  one  or  more  classes,  groups,  or  individual  students,  allowing  you  to  differentiate  instruction  based  on  students'  needs.    Let's  say  you  notice  that  several  students  are  struggling  with  vocabulary  during  a  close  read  of  the  week's  main  selection.  Their  lack  of  vocabulary  knowledge  is  preventing  them  from  comprehending  the  text.  You  stop  to  discuss  the  words  in  context,  and  then  also  decide  to  assign  those  students  a  vocabulary  game  to  help  reinforce  the  vocabulary  and  deepen  their  understanding.  The  students'  performance  on  the  game  will  help  you  determine  whether  or  not  they  have  mastered  the  vocabulary.    To  assign  an  activity  or  assessment  to  one  student  or  a  group  of  students,  find  the  content  you'd  like  to  assign  within  a  specific  lesson,  and  then  click  Assign.  You  can  customize  the  title,  start  and  end  date,  and  instructions  for  the  activity.    Use  the  Instructions  box  to  scaffold  instruction  by  providing  directions  and  support  based  on  your  students'  needs.  In  this  case,  since  the  vocabulary  was  discussed  during  a  whole-­‐class  lesson,  you  may  want  to  remind  students  of  how  the  words  were  used  in  context.  Use  the  Instructions  box  to  make  these  notations.    Finally,  enter  the  name  of  the  student  or  group  you'd  like  to  assign  the  activity  or  assessment  to,  and  click  Assign.    Remediation  activities  are  automatically  assigned  when  students  take  assessments  online.  The  activities  assigned  correspond  to  skills  and  strategies  that  the  students  need  practice  on.  You  can  also  assign  remediation  activities.
