EL Education

EL Education recommends a carefully curated selection of books to support a curriculum that helps students master literacy standards while deepening their knowledge of real-world subjects like social studies, STEM, and literature. These texts are chosen to engage students with complex ideas and introduce them to important topics, fostering both literacy development and academic knowledge.

The curriculum integrates reading with core subjects, helping students to build vocabulary and comprehension skills while learning about history, science, technology, and the arts. By analyzing diverse texts, students gain practical knowledge, critical thinking skills, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

As students progress, they encounter increasingly complex materials that support their literacy growth while broadening their knowledge. EL Education’s approach prepares students to be skilled readers, writers, and informed thinkers, ready for future academic and real-world challenges.
