DEMOS
Hear the difference scaffolding makes.
Every sample comes in two versions: the clean read and the scaffolded read. Play them back to back. The difference isn’t the voice — it’s the teaching.
Frederick Douglass — “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?”
GRADES 8–9 · SCAFFOLDED LITERACY AUDIO
The rhetorical climax: a preview that sets up the pivot, the passage chunked at clause boundaries, an in-line definition, and a think-aloud on the word “your” — the pronoun that turns celebration into accusation.
W. E. B. Du Bois — “Of Our Spiritual Strivings”
GRADES 9–11 · ACCESSIBILITY & READ-ALOUD ACCOMMODATION
The double-consciousness passage, human-narrated for IEP and 504 read-aloud accommodations, with an instructional version that defines key words in context and ends on a comprehension checkpoint.
