What's included in our literacy curriculum for 6–8
ĵֱ ELA is a blended literacy curriculum designed specifically for grades 6–8. The heart of every lesson is the text. Our core English Language Arts curriculum enables teachers to teach skills through texts and develop their students’ muscles for building meaning through reading. With ĵֱ ELA, students learn to attack any complex text and make observations, grapple with interesting ideas, and find relevance for themselves.

Each grade includes six units centered on literary or informational texts, delivered in several forms of media. Your classroom will also benefit from two to three immersive learning experiences called Quests and a dedicated Story Writing unit.
