Achieve More with Imagine Learning EL Education
Content-Based Language Arts
The curriculum is organized to make literacy instruction effective and easy to implement, fostering student growth and success. Students in grades K–2 find support for phonics, fluency, and more in the Reading Foundational Skills block and through the optional Labs hands-on activities. In grades 3–5, students receive language and literacy practice in the ALL Block, and students in grades 6–8 engage in the Module Lessons.
Foundational Literacy Instruction
Imagine Learning EL Education® is the only program with group foundational skills lessons in a digital platform, with whole group and differentiated small group instruction for grades K–2. Students build foundations in phonics, phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension, all based on the Science of Reading.
ALL Block
Students in grades 3–5 receive additional literacy practice with ALL Block lessons — teacher-directed small group lessons based on students’ needs — and in small, heterogeneous groups for differentiated instruction. ALL Block provides independence, choice, the responsibility of learning, community and collaboration, and opportunities for differentiation.
Cohesive Learning
Educators have everything they need to teach and engage their students, whether in person, remote, or hybrid. We offer supports for district and school administration, robust data and reporting, digitized handouts, organized classroom content, and many opportunities for personalization and customization.
Module Overview Videos
Families can engage in their students’ learning with exciting videos that set the stage for what they will be exploring in that module. Module Overview Videos provide an outline of the module and suggestions for communicating with the student and extending their learning at home.
The Four T’s
Each unit and lesson is planned with the 4T’s framework in mind. The 4T’s ensure that students are able to comprehend the requirements and goals of each lesson, so they spend more time learning and less time figuring out what to do. Our scaffolded approach ensures students build knowledge as they progress culminating in mastery of the unit concept.
Topics
The compelling topic brings the content to life and is based on the content standards students are expected to meet.
Tasks
The culminating task is a scaffolded project or performance task that gauges students’ mastery of content and literacy.
Targets
Learning targets are derived from the language and rigor of the grade-level standards students are expected to meet.
Text
Lessons feature complex texts to ensure students experience a volume of reading at their independent reading level.
Imagine Learning EL Education
Create a learning experience that leverages the impact of content-based literacy through a unique combination of digital and print materials.
Support and Achieve Greater Learning
Content-Based, Integrated Approach
The deeper their content knowledge, the more students can understand, read, speak, and write about the content. Rather than teaching comprehension skills in isolation, students build skills across content areas and disciplines to build knowledge.
Real-World Content and Engaging Texts
Students engage with compelling, complex texts to learn academic vocabulary, gain fluency, master increasingly challenging syntax, and build reading comprehension. The texts feature a variety of races and genders with various world perspectives.
Expanded View of Student Achievement
Students excel in diverse and inclusive settings that encourage them to learn from and respect one another. Learning targets allow students to lead their own learning and focus on critical thinking, effective communication, and deeper understanding.
Promote Student Thinking, Collaboration, and Respect
Throughout the curriculum, protocols and conversation cues encourage students to engage in meaningful and collaborative conversations to deepen their learning, understanding, and appreciation for their peers’ perspectives.
Backward Design
The curriculum centers learning around what students will know and be able to do at the end of instruction. Built-in assessments give educators valuable information to reflect on key learnings and provide support where needed.
