The Skills Navigator provides a detailed look at the specific features, workshops, skills, and standards covered in each unit. Use these pages to guide you through planning your instruction for a day, unit, or entire year.

The instructional model in Pearson Common Core Literature is data driven and provides flexibility based on your students’ needs. Therefore, the pacing recommendations on the following pages can be adjusted to meet the needs of your classroom. For example, the recommended number of days for Part 1: Setting Expectations is four days. Depending on your students and their ability to closely read a text, you may choose to use Part 1 for only one day or for as many as five days.

Another example of flexible pacing is shown with Part 2: Guided Exploration. This Part provides scaffolded instruction focused on skills. Again, depending on your students’ needs, you may choose to teach one selection over a period of four days or teach three selections over a course of twelve days. The Pacing Recommendations are provided as a guide, but you know your students best and should chart the appropriate pathway through the programs based on students’ needs.

INTRODUCTORY UNITThe Introductory Unit can be used at any time through the year to teach essential Common Core skills and standards. The chart below provides an overview of the features of this unit.

The Skills Navigator provides a detailed look at the specific features, workshops, skills, and standards covered in each unit. Use these pages to guide you through planning your instruction for a day, unit, or entire year.

The instructional model in Pearson Common Core Literature is data driven and provides flexibility based on your students’ needs. Therefore, the pacing recommendations on the following pages can be adjusted to meet the needs of your classroom. For example, the recommended number of days for Part 1: Setting Expectations is four days. Depending on your students and their ability to closely read a text, you may choose to use Part 1 for only one day or for as many as five days.

Another example of flexible pacing is shown with Part 2: Guided Exploration. This Part provides scaffolded instruction focused on skills. Again, depending on your students’ needs, you may choose to teach one selection over a period of four days or teach three selections over a course of twelve days. The Pacing Recommendations are provided as a guide, but you know your students best and should chart the appropriate pathway through the programs based on students’ needs.

INTRODUCTORY UNITThe Introductory Unit can be used at any time through the year to teach essential Common Core skills and standards. The chart below provides an overview of the features of this unit.
