  • The curriculum encourages teachers to use levels in the curriculum that are at or near grade level and use the provided scaffolds to help students access those materials.

  • You can also use the resources as preparation for ACCESS or ELPA21 testing since the lessons are designed around getting students doing similar types of activities to those required in the those tests.
