!!This {{Anthology}} provides examples of the following tropes:
* TheAnnotatedEdition: The excerpt of "Literature/TheDogOfPompeii" is annotated by two fictional kids to demonstrate how students are supposed to be "active readers", identifying predictions, connecting, visualizing, evaluations, and clarifications.
* {{Biography}}: Many, but not all, of the stories in this textbook also contain "About the Author" sections to share additional background information for the reader.
* BookEnds: "Literature/TheAllAmericanSlurp" starts with the Lin family being dinner guests at the Gleeson's house and ends with roles reversed; the Gleeson family are dinner guests at the Lin house.
* ChainOfDeals: "Literature/PresidentClevelandWhereAreYou?" culminates in Jerry, the protagonist, needing to fix his bicycle tire to ride over to the North Side of the town to trade his extra Warren G Harding collectable card for a [[TheNamesake Grover Cleveland card]] to sell to Rollie Tremaine, the antagonist, for five dollars so he can buy his brother a corsage and new shoes so he can take Sally Knowlton to a fancy dance.
* CharacterNarrator:
** "Literature/TheAllAmericanSlurp" is narrated by the daughter of the Lin family, but [[NamelessNarrative her name is never mentioned]]. It's about how her family learns to adopt American customs.
** "{{Literature/Eleven}}" is narrated by Rachel, who tells about her terrible eleventh birthday with a rhythmic repetition.
** "Literature/PresidentClevelandWhereAreYou?" is narrated by Jerry, a kid trying to collect cards of presidents.
** "Literature/ScoutsHonor" is narrated by nine-year-old {{Creator/Avi}}, about his abortive effort to go camping with two friends.
** "Literature/TuesdayOfTheOtherJune" is narrated by a girl named June and how she dealt with a bully also named June.
* CompressedAdaptation: This Literature textbook contains excerpts from several stories too long to republish in this {{Doorstopper}}:
** "Literature/TheDogOfPompeii" by Creator/LouisUntermeyer
** "Literature/TheFunOfIt" by Creator/AmeliaEarhart
** "{{Literature/Woodsong}}" by Creator/GaryPaulsen
** "Literature/TheStoryOfMyLife" by Creator/HelenKeller
* {{Doorstopper}}: There's over one thousand pages in this book, not including the index and the copyright pages.
* FootnoteFever: Because this is a textbook used to teach English language reading, there are many definitions given with footnotes, additional questions/challenges in sidebars, certain phrases are highlighted, and sometimes multiple stories/poems share a page.
* NewTransferStudent: "Literature/WhosTheNewKid?" is about the protagonist's first day at a new school and her embarrassingly short haircut.
* NoFourthWall: As a reading textbook, the audience is often addressed and given questions to create a deeper understanding of the text.
* OneWordTitle:
** "{{Literature/Ancestors}}", by Creator/DudleyRandall
** There's a retelling of the "{{Literature/Arachne}}" myth by Creator/OliviaECoolidge
** "{{Literature/Change}}", by Creator/CharlotteZolotow
** "{{Literature/Chinatown}}", by Creator/LaurenceYep
** "{{Literature/Eleven}}", by Creator/SandraCisneros
** "{{Literature/Fable}}", by Creator/RalpohWaldoEmerson
** "{{Literature/Saguaro}}", by Creator/FrankAsch
** "{{Literature/Tutankhamen}}", by Creator/AnneTerryWhite
** An excerpt from "{{Literature/Woodsong}}", by Creator/GaryPaulsen
* PointOfView: "Literature/TheDogOfPompeii" is told in third person omniscient, juxtaposing the boy and his dog to reverse their normal roles.
