Sumario:The authors demonstrate how teachers can scaffold instruction that invites students into the learning process by presenting engaging, relevant material. Employing five steps, the authors describe how to curate and sequence text sets: access learners' funds of knowledge, begin with the end in mind, consult the curriculum to determine areas that require additional resources, gather texts, and build a bridge. The authors provide an example text set based on Next Generation Science Standards to illustrate how the process of curating text sets builds bridges to help students develop background knowledge and foster meaningful connections to increase reading engagement.
