Reading and Analysis Guide for 9th Grade
A reusable reading roadmap and literary analysis reference sheet for 9th graders, with a preview-to-purpose checklist and a device table covering simile, metaphor, and related terms. It builds close-reading habits, vocabulary recognition, and textual evidence skills, and it works well as a scaffold for students with IEPs across any text.
“i want like a universal scaffolds sheet for kids with IEPs in 9th and then a different one for 10th grade. would it be that different?”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Introduce the Reading Roadmap checklist at the start of a unit and have students follow it on the first text together before releasing them to use it independently.
- Discussion question: Which step on the roadmap helps you most when a text feels confusing, and why?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Pair the device table with two or three sentences from a familiar text, and have students label each device before attempting a new passage.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to find an example of each device in a text and analyze how the device shapes tone or theme.
- Estimated time: About 10 minutes to introduce the checklist, with brief reference use during each 45-minute reading block.
