ELA Considerations
A strong ELA plan can be built in many different ways. Some families choose one comprehensive curriculum, while others combine a few resources to meet their student’s needs.
English Language Arts includes several important areas such as reading, writing, spelling, grammar, vocabulary, speaking, and listening. What is most important is choosing materials that support growth in these areas at an appropriate level for your student.
Explore the sections below to better understand the key components of ELA and discover curriculum options that may be a good fit for your family. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your PEARL teacher with questions you have along the way.
