Text sets are collections of texts on a specific topic that can include various genres and media. Using conceptually coherent text sets in ELA has been shown to build students' knowledge and vocabulary acquisition. An example text set for kindergarten uses children's literature, informational texts, images, and a primary source to teach about making choices when shopping and the concepts of wants and needs. Students analyze and discuss the texts, answer questions, and write about the topics. The text set aims to integrate literacy and social studies.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

more knowledge of the concepts in their texts, more knowledge of
the target words in their texts, and had better recall of the novel text

there is potential for knowledge and vocabulary to be built during
English language arts through a focus on conceptual coherence in the
design of reading experiences for students.”
