Student-Centric Curriculum

Key ways K12’s ELA program supports the depth of knowledge required by today’s academic standards:

Backward Design Methodology
ELA courses follow the principles of backward design, where learning opportunities build the knowledge and skills students need to master learning objectives.

Teacher Time Videos
Available for grades K–1, Teacher Time videos enrich student learning experiences with systematic, multisensory instruction that builds early literacy skills.

Get Ready, Learn It, Try It Components
Get Ready activities orient students to the lesson, while Learn and Try It activities build knowledge, introduce vocabulary, and review reading strategies.

HEAR WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING

Yolanda, 1st Grade Learning Coach, TX

“We like that ‘teacher time’ is interactive for the younger students. They get to participate with their whiteboards and letterboards. You don’t have that ‘distant learning’ feeling; it’s more like one-to-one learning.”

Elsy, 2nd Grade Learning Coach, WA

“My son loves reading, especially if he has the physical copy of the books. This year, he loves the reading selection he got … , specifically the K12 World magazines. He loves to keep them and re-read them.”
