Springboard English Language Arts Common Core Edition

The Springboard Language Arts Common Core Edition 2018 materials for Grades 6-7-8 partially meet the alignment expectations. The materials meet expectations for Gateway 1, including appropriately rigorous and engaging texts for students to grow reading and skills as well as working to build research skills. Tasks and questions provided offer students practice in academic speaking and listening as well as comprehensive writing skills development over the course of the school year. The materials partially meet the expectations of growing students' knowledge and academic vocabulary as they engage with increasingly rigorous texts and tasks. Supports for research, overall writing, and independent reading is present. Teachers are provided some support to identify students' individual needs to support them in their literacy development. 

The Springboard Language Arts Common Core Edition 2018 materials for grades 9-12 provide students with rigorous texts with which to practice and apply reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language tasks. The materials provide consistent writing instruction within each grade level and across grades to build students’ abilities to be ready for the demands of career and college writing tasks.
