ER101 is built around a diverse selection of the very best books available for students at each grade level. For each book we have crafted a rich set of resources that enable teachers to guide students in a truly meaningful and enriching experience of the book. The Teacher Guide provides extensive support for leading students in thoughtful discussions of theme, character, plot, and setting. The Student Materials give students the opportunity to expand upon the classroom experience in exciting and educational ways.
ER101 helps students understand the fundamental elements of famous books by reading and
analyzing literature at in-depth and scholarly level. Research has proven that close reading of literature engages complex cognitive thinking skills, providing invaluable help to students with their reasoning, language development, and problem solving skills.
Most importantly, ER101 will also turn students into readers who love to read and challenge themselves. Every course guides students through entire novels, giving them a comprehensive taste a complete character and plot development. Research shows that students greatly benefit from the shared experience of reading. Through discussing the lessons and insights taken from each work, students develop the intellectual, social, and emotional skills that are critical to success in school and in life.
