EL Education K–5 Language Arts

2025 Edition

Available Summer 2025: The 2025 Edition improves upon the nationally acclaimed 2017 Edition by incorporating the latest literacy research and teacher feedback.

Our Approach

What sets EL Education K–5 Language Arts 2025 Edition apart?

Six-Module Choice

The 2025 edition offers six modules per grade, allowing schools to select four modules to create a customized, year-long curriculum.

Modules 2 and 3 each provide a track for Humanities (Explorer) and for STEM (Innovator). These pathways empower schools to meet their unique needs.

All modules cover the same standards, with instruction and skills building sequentially throughout the year. Every module also reflects cultural diversity and inclusive content across the Topics, Tasks, Targets, and Texts.

Note: Grade 1, Module 3 Explorer pathway will be released for the 2026/27 school year.

A Streamlined Design, Inspired by Teachers

The 2025 edition offers shorter, more accessible lessons, making planning and teaching smoother than ever.

In Module Lessons, you’ll see fewer required anchor charts, redesigned lesson structure for better clarity, enhanced visuals for easier classroom implementation, and integrated teacher materials for seamless use.

Plus, flexible implementation of Grades K–2 Labs and further clarification for implementation of Grades 3–5 Additional Language and Literacy (ALL) Block.

English-language and Multi-language Learners

Our curriculum includes conscious, research-based supports for ELLs and MLLs, with lesson-level guidance, frequent ‘Language Dives’ to unpack the structure and meaning of compelling sentences, and ‘Conversation Cues’ to promote equitable discussions.

Empowering Every Student for Success

Using the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, lessons present information in multiple ways, keep everyone engaged, and encourage full participation. The 2025 edition ensures multilingual and diverse learners thrive with targeted supports in every lesson.

Enhanced Cultural Awareness

The 2025 Edition ensures students feel seen and valued. Drawing from decades of research and thought leadership, every module features authors, characters, and illustrators from diverse backgrounds. Each grade includes at least one module focused on promoting diversity and authentic representation.
