We're always adding vocabulary themes, writing resources, readers and more as we create them.

We're continuing to add new interactive content to the interactive online lesson slides that are hosted in the membership and on the Student Portal. These help make the lessons more intuitive to teach. They also make it easier for students to learn content independently if they are working through content in the Student Portal on their own.

We've already completed the Beginners levels and will continue on to the Low-Intermediate levels next.

We're making the Student Portal more independent by adding quizzes to all lessons so that students can progress without the need for the teacher to have to click to allow them to progress. Each set of review assessments still require a teacher check in though before the student can continue to move through the curriculum.

Can you please add the phoics skills that are addressed in each fluency reader? It would help me choose the right ones. Even something general like basic long and short vowels would help.

Include more SIOP strategies and scaffolding learning tips.

Teachers could isolate grammar skills needed by students.

This would involve a new way of browsing the resources in the curriculum. You would be able to go to a particular grade level and then see resources by proficiency level or on specific common core skills, etc.

I would love to see lessons in action! I just learn better that way and get a better understanding of what is done through the lessons. As a newer teacher - anything visual and in action helps me reach these kiddos more!

Could the different readers be linked so I can download and print the set at once instead of having to download and print each one individually?

Is there an answer key for teachers anywhere? I occasionally like to double check my own answers.

When creating the PPT files we wanted them to be consistent-looking across print and digital formats. One of the reasons was so that your students could actually print the pages and use them or write on them as you were teaching and they would look exactly as they do on the screen. Even with online teaching, we're huge fans of students actually having paper in front of them and actually writing with a pencil if possible. A horizontal format though could be easier to teach from when teaching online and it is under consideration for development. What do you think?

I love the vocabulary flashcards that go with each grammar or vocabulary lesson, however I wish that they were smaller so that it's not just two flashcards per page. It ends up being a lot of paper to print out a whole set of flashcards, especially if I need to print out multiple sets for my students so they can all practice at the same time.

I wish the vocabulary and phonics lessons within a unit could be in one powerpoint. I feel i'm all over the place trying to get it to flow.

Hi, I am wondering what resources would be best for a multi-level class. From beginner to intermediate. It would be neat if there was an option to access materials that would work for all levels at the same time. It's a very hard and common situation for ELL teachers to be in. Thanks! Maya
