English Language Arts Companion

Standards-based instruction, practice, and assessment build mastery in English language arts

Using authentic literature, each lesson develops a standards-based skill through four steps to success—skill/concept introduction, guided instruction, independent practice, and application.

Skill-focused lessons offer interactive guided instruction followed by independent practice. A Tryout Test provides a diagnostic assessment to direct instruction and two comprehensive summative assessments allow multiple opportunities to measure and track student progress and mastery.
