"The Jacob's Ladder Reading Comprehension Program develops reading comprehension and critical thinking skills in high-ability learners. It moves students through a scaffolded inquiry process from basic understanding to critical analyses of texts, using a field-tested method developed by the Center for Gifted Education at William & Mary. A series of books for teachers and companion student workbooks published by Prufrock Press, now a part of Routledge, provide support."
