Flexible Implementation Options
Whether you're looking for a supplement to enhance your current instructional resources or a focused skills-based reading program, Connections: English Language Arts offers flexible implementation options.
Use to Supplement Your Curriculum
If you find you need additional skills support and scaffolding for your students, Connections: English Language Arts can supplement what you are already doing in your classroom.
Using short, focused literature excerpts to teach, practice, and apply specific ELA skills, reinforce the skills students need to better comprehend. See the instructional roadmaps below to explore how you can dip in and dip out of the resource to introduce a skill or for reteaching/reviewing as needed.
Use as a Core
Connections: English Language Arts covers 100% of the English Language Arts standards for each grade level. Teach the program as structured with a focus on the Essential Question.
Each unit includes selection-level assessments, unit-level project-based assessments, and multiple writing opportunities to respond to texts as well as synthesize across texts.
The program allows a teacher to work with ANY group of students (support with reteaching, general education classes, ELLs, and Gifted/Talented). Differentiated instruction is embedded into the program and focuses on building skills, including inquiry. Expand students’ vocabulary and break down learning barriers through repeated practice and application.
