Jigsaw and Jigsaw Plus reading and activity materials are created from the students' world experience and designed for interactive learning. Working together in small, cooperative groups on problem-solving tasks, students rapidly and enjoyably develop language proficiency and group-learning skills.

Designed for adolescent and adult learners in multilevel classes who need to develop their reading and discussion skills for application across the curriculum, cooperative skills sheets offer students a wealth of opportunities to develop both specific reading skills and effective learning strategies for group work which can then be applied to academic tasks.

While they fit easily and comfortably into English, Reading or ESL classrooms, other areas of the curriculum are also supported, for example Social Studies, Environmental Studies, Life Skills, Values Education or Work Preparation classes.

Both sets of blackline masters are based on the cooperative learning approach to small group learning. The Jigsaw classroom's unique structure ensures that every student contributes to and participates in all group activities.
