Legal Studies Series: Reading Centers Bundle

The Legal Studies Series offers an enriching and stimulating learning experience, designed to help readers deepen their understanding of the complex concepts that underpin the legal system.

Each of the five-stage reading comprehension activities is designed to challenge and engage students while providing them with an in-depth understanding of the legal system. With the help of this resource, readers will be able to grasp the fundamental principles of law with greater clarity and confidence.

Every reading in the series follows a structured process, ensuring that students can develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they progress through the activities.

• In Stage 1, students prepare for the informational text by matching ten key vocabulary words with their definitions, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the text.
• In Stage 2, students dive into the informational text, reading it independently or with a partner, small group, or center.
• In Stage 3, students are tested on their comprehension with six multiple-choice questions, ensuring that they understand the material before moving on.
• In Stage 4, students explore a case study, again reading independently or in a group.
• Finally, in Stage 5, students are tested once more with six multiple-choice questions that assess their comprehension of the case study.

This resource contains:

• 8 informational texts (Rule of Law, Legal Systems and Processes, Criminal Law, Civil Law, Human Rights, Constitutional Law, International Law, Legal Ethics)
• 10 essential vocabulary words with definitions
• 8 case studies (one for each legal concept)
• 12 multiple-choice comprehension questions (6 per reading) complete with answer sheets for each legal concept
• Answer strips for students to write their answers on (optional)

This resource is perfect for educators looking for an engaging and effective teaching tool, or for individual learners looking to develop their comprehension skills.

To ensure that this resource can be used time and time again, we recommend that the texts, assorted vocabulary matches, and comprehension question and answer sheets be laminated for durability. This will help to preserve the quality of the resources, making them a valuable long-term addition to your teaching toolkit.

All the very best!
