ENGLISH CURRICULUM, Grades 6-12
TRADITIONAL TEXTBOOKS These curricula are the California state-adopted, or mostly standards-aligned programs. They are the easiest way to insure that your child is covering the state standards for their grade level. These curricula have components that address the needs of children with visual, auditory, and often kinesthetic learning styles.

HOMESCHOOL FAVORITES These curricula are often written by subject or needs-specific publishers, single item publishers, or by homeschooling families who know the needs of homeschoolers. The curricula are typically not aligned to the California state standards. They tend to be homeschool user-friendly in that more of the content is in the student edition and less in the teacher edition, there may be fewer teacher manuals, and tests with answer keys are often included in the curriculum package, not in a separate, teacher resource book.
English I, II, III, IV Language Arts I, II, III	Parallel Alternative Strategies for Students (PASS) This downloadable curriculum program was developed through special funds provided by the State of Florida.

HANDS-ON Items in this column are here because they have a "more than most" emphasis on being hands-on, which helps our kinesthetic learners. These materials are also often "homeschool favorites" because a hands-on emphasis engages and improves learning for most students.
