ELA
The discipline of English language arts (ELA) includes reading, writing, listening, speaking, and viewing. The core purpose of instruction in English language arts is to help students develop a wide repertoire of tools for communicating ideas, experiences, and perspectives, as well as the ability to interpret, analyze, and evaluate text across content area courses.

In addition to CKLA skills in grades K-2, reading and writing instruction is delivered through the Units of Study and Heggerty.
Grades 4–5 each include three units in reading and three units in writing, novel studies, Heggerty and Morpheme Magic.
The Middle School Units of Study series provides a coherent, systematic curriculum in the three types of reading and writing mandated by CA State Standards—opinion/argument, information, and narrative writing.
- K to Grade 5 Heinemann Units of Study
- K to Grade 5 Heggerty
The Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Curriculum provides 24-weeks of daily systematic phonemic awareness lessons for use in 1st and 2nd grade classrooms. The lessons are short and engaging, designed to be the perfect supplement to an existing literacy curriculum. Lessons can be used for intervention support for students in 2nd grade and above who struggle to decode.
- Grades 4 to 5 Morpheme Magic
Systematic and explicit morpheme lessons, teaching activities, and more will create morphological awareness for teachers and students. Fifty-three lessons, covering suffixes, prefixes, roots, and Greek combining forms, share a systematic routine that draws from research on how we develop deep word knowledge. This program is sure to enhance advanced word study while building interest and curiosity about words.
