1 TIME For Kids offers a rich selection of articles, multimedia, and teaching resources to help you meet Common Core State Standards in English language arts. Take a look at how TIME For Kids Edition 5 6 addresses the CCSS for ELA. READING STANDARDS FOR INFORMATIONAL TEXT KEY IDEAS AND DETAILS RI.6.1 Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. RI.6.2 Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments. RI.6.3 Analyze in detail how a key individual, event, or idea is introduced, illustrated, and elaborated in a text (e.g., through examples or anecdotes). Each TIME For Kids article comes with a Teacher s Guide featuring lessons that develop students nonfiction reading skills. Teaching materials include literal and inference questions that ask students to dig deeper into a text s details. Students are challenged to identify evidence, including exact quotes, to support their understanding and analysis. With top stories, we provide step-by-step closereading support, with paragraph-specific questions and discussion prompts. The digital edition includes additional Common Core aligned lessons that challenge students to analyze texts with discussion and writing prompts. Most TIME For Kids articles include Think questions to help focus student reading and classroom discussion around a text s central ideas. Teacher s Guide lessons guide students toward identifying the main ideas and supporting details in a text. Think questions and Teacher s Guides focus on how individuals, events, and ideas interact and develop over the course of an article. Graphic organizers support student comprehension and help readers analyze complex relationships within a text. CRAFT AND STRUCTURE RI.6.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings. RI.6.5 Analyze how a particular sentence, paragraph, chapter, or section fits into the overall structure of a text and contributes to the development of the ideas. RI.6.6 Determine an author s point of view or purpose in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text. Within each article, academic and domain-specific words are highlighted and defined. Close-reading questions provided help teachers support students in determining the meaning of a word by using context clues. TIME For Kids stories utilize different informationaltext structures (chronology, comparison, cause-effect, problem-solution) to engage readers. Close-reading and discussion questions often ask readers to compare and contrast how particular events or ideas are presented in related texts. In TIME For Kids, you will find opinion pieces on debatable issues, with kids from across the country weighing in. Accompanying stories provide context and background information so students can speak or write knowledgeably about a topic, analyze a writer s point of view, and critique the strength of supporting evidence. timeforkids.com 1
2 INTEGRATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND IDEAS RI.6.7 Integrate information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in words to develop a coherent understanding of a topic or issue. RI.6.8 Trace and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, distinguishing claims that are supported by reasons and evidence from claims that are not. RI.6.9 Compare and contrast one author s presentation of events with that of another (e.g., a memoir written by and a biography on the same person). TIME For Kids videos, slide shows, and audio readalouds of longer articles provide multiple opportunities for students to compare and contrast information from digital sources. With access to different representations of ideas and topics across several forms of multimedia, students can build content-area knowledge. Teacher s Guide questions and activities challenge students to identify and evaluate the evidence and reasoning a writer uses to support claims in an informational text. When they read debate stories, students are asked to determine whose point of view was the most persuasive, looking specifically at the points a writer makes in constructing an argument. TIME For Kids often provides two or more articles on the same topic to deepen students knowledge about a subject. Use related TIME For Kids stories as a jumping-off point to spur students curiosity about a topic and provide opportunities for students to integrate and synthesize information from multiple sources. Teacher s Guide materials recommend writing prompts, research projects, and other learning extensions for students. RANGE OF READING AND LEVEL OF TEXT COMPLEXITY RI.6.10 By the end of the year, read and comprehend literary nonfiction in the grades 6 8 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range. Feature stories are written at a grade-appropriate Lexile level, using grade-appropriate words and sentence structure. The digital edition offers feature stories at two Lexile levels to meet the needs of diverse learners. WRITING STANDARDS TEXT TYPES AND PURPOSES W.6.1 Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence. a. Introduce claim(s) and organize the reasons and evidence clearly. b. Support claim(s) with clear reasons and relevant evidence, using credible sources and demonstrating an understanding of the topic or text. c.

Provide a concluding statement or section that follows from the argument presented. Teacher s Guides and reproducible worksheets provide writing prompts about the student magazine cover story. Prompts encourage students to develop arguments on a topic and challenge them to support their thinking with relevant reasons and evidence from the text. Students are asked to use a clear organizational structure, use transitions to demonstrate clear relationships between claims and reasons, and use a formal, academic style. Debate features present students with background information about an issue of interest to sixth graders, alongside two opposing opinions from students their age. Students are encouraged to use the features as mentor texts when crafting their own opinion pieces. timeforkids.com 2
3 TEXT TYPES AND PURPOSES W.6.2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas, concepts, and information through the selection, organization, and analysis of relevant content. a.

Close-reading lessons include writing activities that require students to refer back to the text and do additional research, using credible sources, in order to produce their own work. Writing prompts ask students to take a stance and support their opinion with reasons and evidence from the text, as well as from supporting documents. Test Prep with TFK is provided two times per school year. It includes extended-response questions that call on students to produce short informative texts based on information in a reading passage. Teacher s Guides include writing tasks that call on students to write informative/explanatory texts based on feature stories in the student magazine and/or digital edition.
