LANGUAGE!® accelerates the literacy learning process!

New this year, LANGUAGE! Fourth Edition builds on the effectiveness of LANGUAGE! Third Edition with increased emphasis on comprehension and writing.

LANGUAGE! The Comprehensive Literacy Curriculum (Fourth Edition):

• Is for struggling readers, writers, speakers, and spellers scoring below the 40th percentile
• Provides explicit, systematic, research-based instruction

Cumulative and sequential multisensory activities engage students while establishing skills in phonemic awareness and phonics, word recognition and spelling, vocabulary and morphology, and grammar and usage. With this foundation, students:

• Read and listen to multiple levels of text selections
• Build content background, vocabulary, comprehension skills, and fluency
• Organize thoughts, write increasingly sophisticated text, and communicate effectively through the writing process

With multiple entry points, LANGUAGE! places students according to skill level. The LANGUAGE! instructional model weaves all the necessary strands of literacy into the instructional steps of a daily lesson, accelerating the learning process.

LANGUAGE! teaches literacy explicitly, sequentially, and cumulatively. The curriculum comprises six levels, Books A–F, each with six units of instruction (10 lessons per unit). Based on a group-administered placement test, students enter the curriculum at skill level A, C, or E.
