Measuring Up for English Language Learners

Grades 1–8

An integrated approach to language acquisition

Developed to assist students acquiring English, instructional lessons target the six performance level descriptors (PLDs). Each of the four areas of reading, speaking, listening, and writing are integrated throughout each lesson to provide meaningful context. Lessons include unparalleled teacher support for explicit instruction using paired literacy and informational passages.

Unrivaled teacher support paves the way to language acquisition and fluency. Create an environment for language explorations with:

• Gradual Release of Responsibility
• Scaffolded support
• Repeated readings
• Peer collaboration
• A Prepare-Do-Review framework
