Align to The New Jersey Literacy Framework

Science of Reading in Secondary ELA: As students transition from learning-to-read to reading-to-learn, myPerspectives systematically addresses the Language Comprehension strands of Scarborough's Reading Rope. This aligns myPerspectives to the Science of Reading and directly supports the New Jersey Literacy Framework's goal of applying evidence-based instruction through all grades.

Fosters Student Voice and Inclusive Materials: The New Jersey Literacy Framework emphasizes culturally affirming and inclusive materials. myPerspectives is designed to be student-centered, with a variety of texts that allow students to see themselves reflected in the stories and bring their lived experiences into the classroom. Features like Sharing Perspectives discussion prompts and Media Studio empower students to engage with content and express their own ideas and cultural backgrounds.

Integrates Reading and Writing as Reciprocal Skills: The New Jersey Literacy Framework stresses the importance of integrating reading and writing to reinforce comprehension and application of textual content. myPerspectives treats reading and writing as reciprocal skills, with evidence-based writing support embedded throughout each unit. It includes a step-by-step Writer’s Handbook, writing minilessons, grammar minilessons, and the use of mentor texts to model various writing modes.

AI-Powered Tools: SavvyWriter provides actionable, in-the-moment feedback fulfilling the New Jersey Literacy Framework's call for high-impact resources. It offers robust support for each step of the writing process, from pre-writing to revision, and ensures that writing is a systematic and intentional activity that reinforces the reciprocal relationship between reading and writing.

Promotes Knowledge-Building and Comprehension: Aligned with the New Jersey Literacy Framework's mandate for knowledge-rich texts, myPerspectives structures units around intriguing themes and thought-provoking Essential Questions to build background knowledge. The program provides varied literature and nonfiction texts, including articles, poetry, and speeches, to deepen students' understanding and comprehension.

Comprehensive Assessment: myPerspectives includes formative, summative, and diagnostic assessments. These tools provide the data you need for informed decision-making within the NJTSS framework, helping you fine-tune instruction and guide targeted interventions with confidence.
