Connections: English Language Arts is a comprehensive, integrated curriculum written to help students connect with complex texts.

- ELA integration - language, writing, and listening and speaking activities enhance and support the reading skills focus
- Comprehensive reading standards coverage - guided close reading exercises emphasize using evidence, making inferences, and analyzing rhetoric and arguments
- Multiple forms of assessment - Connect to Testing questions, project-based assessments, and practice performance tasks
