Rosen Classroom Books and Materials
Reasons to use Rosen Classroom
and Materials to supplement your Science, Social Studies and Math
Textbooks!
-
In-depth
treatment of content:
Textbooks must
cover the breadth of an entire your of curriculum, so are not able
to elaborate on topics in-depth.
-
Address
Louisiana Grade Level Expectations in grades Pre-K through 8th.
Textbooks are written for a general national audience or for
specific large states and may contain topics that are not areas
of focus in Louisiana curriculum. They often lack treatment of
specific regional content or perspectives.
-
Variety of
reading levels to reach all students
Textbooks are notoriously difficult to comprehend even for
students who read at grade level. Rosen Classroom has books
written several readability levels so that struggling readers,
students at grade level, and those needing an extra challenge
can access the same standards-based content. All Rosen Classroom
books are leveled for guided reading.
-
Highly
supportive visuals make text more accessible
Photographs, illustrations, graphs, charts, and other visual
elements reinforce and clarify written text to enhance
comprehension.
-
Teach Academic
Vocabulary
The vocabulary of social studies, science and math is essential
to attainment of difficult concepts. Rosen Classroom materials
incorporate the standards-based academic vocabulary of each
content area in our books as well as in text features such as
picture glossaries and traditional glossaries. Instruction in
academic vocabulary employs research-based methods which will
help your students achieve on standardized tests and beyond.
-
Integration of
literacy and content instruction
Textbooks are written to deliver the information essential to
the content area. Rosen Classroom materials allow you to teach
reading, writing, listening and speaking as students acquire
content knowledge. This integration enhances learning and
maximizes your use of time.

Dear Educator,
Rosen Math
for the Real World by Rosen Classroom Materials integrates math
into curriculum subjects, such as English Language Arts,
Science, and Social Studies through literature.
According to
research (Clark, 2002) literature can be the vehicle for
providing meaningful context for learning in math and help the
learner:
- Value math
- Encourages
learners to be problem solvers
- Provides
and builds mathematical vocabulary
- Supports
reasoning
- Make
connecting to real-life
- Provides
visualization of mathematical concepts through illustrations
Research also
indicates that when literature and math are connected, students
understand math concepts readily and retain the knowledge
(Raymond, 1995). Math scores have also been known to increase
when math strategies are combined with literature (Jennings,
1992).
