Maintain motivation and interest by creating a regular cadence, give an initial taste of the readings, and encourage active participation. These books are organized so that the lower readability texts are in the beginning and higher readability texts are at the end. Allow students to choose readings that inspire them, but are on a common theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Before each meeting, have students sign-up for readings. Give students 5-10 readings to choose from and ask them to read 1-2 passages between each meeting. Start each meeting by having students review the answers to the text-dependent questions (or answer them together if pre-work is simply not achievable). Ideally, this happens in small groups so students can share their work on the same readings. After 15 minutes of text review, ask students to share a question or opinion with the group. Initially, students may struggle to start these conversations but reinforce that their opinions matter and this club is structured so they can fully explore the topics in the readings. Students could culminate this conversation by creating artistic artifacts that show their point of view about the topic or how it applies to their future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Get started now!<\/strong> Teachers begin by choosing a time that works well for both students and staff, such as once a week after dismissal. They should select an engaging theme like &#8220;Sampling Future Careers&#8221;, &#8220;How We Can Build the Future&#8221;, or &#8220;Planning Our Future Goals&#8221;. Each book from edMe Learning is arranged from easiest to hardest readings. Organize small groups of four to six students to encourage active participation. A \u201ctasting\u201d of readings can help students preview and rank book choices, making grouping smoother and more student-driven. Teachers should also provide clear guidance on how to take notes, prepare for discussion, and speak respectfully in conversations. Most importantly, the teacher\u2019s role should be to guide and support without dominating, focusing on building a love of reading rather than organizing every minute of discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources to Purchase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-content-justification-center\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:calc( 0.5 * var(--wp--style--root--padding-right, var(--wp--custom--gap--horizontal)));padding-right:var(--wp--style--root--padding-right, var(--wp--custom--gap--horizontal));padding-bottom:calc( 0.5 * var(--wp--style--root--padding-right, var(--wp--custom--gap--horizontal)));padding-left:var(--wp--style--root--padding-left, var(--wp--custom--gap--horizontal))\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-df757ecc wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:calc( 0.25 * var(--wp--style--root--padding-right, var(--wp--custom--gap--horizontal)))\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:calc( 0.25 * var(--wp--style--root--padding-right, var(--wp--custom--gap--horizontal)))\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/single-product\" data-nfd-animation=\"nfd-wb-fade-in-bottom\" data-product-id=\"54957\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;productId&quot;:54957,&quot;variationId&quot;:null}\" data-wp-interactive=\"woocommerce\/single-product\" class=\"wp-block-woocommerce-single-product woocommerce nfd-wb-animate nfd-wb-fade-in-bottom\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/product-image\" data-is-descendent-of-single-product-block=\"true\" data-nfd-animation=\"nfd-wb-zoom-in\" data-show-sale-badge=\"false\" class=\"wc-block-components-product-image wc-block-grid__product-image wc-block-components-product-image--aspect-ratio-auto wp-block-woocommerce-product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/myedme.com\/login\/login\/product\/maritime-marvels\/\" style=\"\" data-wp-on--click=\"woocommerce\/product-collection::actions.viewProduct\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"416\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myedme.com\/login\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Covers_MaritimeMarvels.png?resize=416%2C535&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_single size-woocommerce_single\" alt=\"Maritime Marvels\" data-testid=\"product-image\" data-image-id=\"54959\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myedme.com\/login\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Covers_MaritimeMarvels.png?w=2521&amp;ssl=1 2521w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myedme.com\/login\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Covers_MaritimeMarvels.png?resize=233%2C300&amp;ssl=1 233w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myedme.com\/login\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Covers_MaritimeMarvels.png?resize=797%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 797w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myedme.com\/login\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Covers_MaritimeMarvels.png?resize=768%2C987&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myedme.com\/login\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Covers_MaritimeMarvels.png?resize=1195%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1195w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myedme.com\/login\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Covers_MaritimeMarvels.png?resize=1594%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1594w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myedme.com\/login\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Covers_MaritimeMarvels.png?resize=416%2C535&amp;ssl=1 416w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myedme.com\/login\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Covers_MaritimeMarvels.png?w=1960&amp;ssl=1 1960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><div class=\"wc-block-components-product-image__inner-container\"><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/myedme.com\/login\/login\/product\/maritime-marvels\/\" target=\"_self\" >Maritime Marvels<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/product-price\" data-is-descendent-of-single-product-block=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-woocommerce-product-price\" ><div class=\"wc-block-components-product-price wc-block-grid__product-price\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&#36;<\/span>34.99<\/bdi><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">This book includes: 90 total nonfiction texts (50 on famous ships, 40 on careers) Almost 1,000 text-dependent questions 9 engaging writing activities 10 free lesson plans for educators available online You will read lots about the U.S. Navy.

This collection of nonfiction texts invites students of all ages to explore career paths while strengthening their literacy skills. Engaging readings pair with standards-based question sets to teach readers about welding, aircraft carriers, the history of the United States Navy, and many topics in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Learners from elementary to high school can benefit from these strategic texts. High school classes could use these readings with students who need more practice and supports. Elementary and middle school students can use them to explore career-based texts with on-grade level comprehension practice. Readings can be used to support a whole class of students, or they can be used in a one-on-one setting. You can use them to build individual skills, increase motivation, or assess learning progress. Regardless of your educational setting, this book can scaffold real-world learning to capture your students\u2019 attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Each text is less than one full page in length, accompanied by 4-10 brief but strategic questions to gauge comprehension after reading. Question sets are aligned to the key reading comprehension standards for informational, or nonfiction, texts. The first half of the book features texts with lower readabilities and questions that focus on vocabulary and meaning-making. Afterwards, the readabilities slightly increase, and questions require more inferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Chapters in this book do not need to be read chronologically. Students can read from different areas of the book based on the goal of their reading experience or the texts they are most interested in exploring. Additionally, readings are designed to work flexibly with many lesson plans. Students can use them to collaborate on projects, discussions, and further research. Five complete lesson plans at the beginning of this book outline examples of how these texts can come to life in a classroom setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><em>How to Build Important Things<\/em> includes dozens of readings that explore how big things, like submarines and buildings, are constructed across the United States. These readings look at specific design processes, tools, techniques, and jobsites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0DJVWRTFH?ref_=dbs_m_mng_rwt_calw_tpbk_3&amp;storeType=ebooks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">purchase copies on Amazon<\/a> or buy <a href=\"https:\/\/myedme.com\/login\/login\/product\/how-to-build-important-things\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">comb-bound versions<\/a> directly from edMe Learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STEM and Workforce Literacy Materials (Available via Amazon Prime) You can purchase copies on Amazon or buy comb-bound versions directly from edMe Learning.
