This book uses curricular content and middle-school lesson formats to help students transfer language learning to the classroom and meet testing requirements.
 
The language lessons teach students to associate and apply information to a variety of contexts and respond to academic/testing questions accurately. Students learn 1,555 words from the social studies, science, language arts, math, geography, political science, and history curricula. Age-appropriate articulation lessons with a language approach are included for the r, s, z, l, and th sounds.
 
The book targets eight essential language skills:
  • Vocabulary – using context to determine meaning, testing words, curricular vocabulary, and more
  • Comprehension – identifying flag words, identifying and understanding sequence words, identifying passive voice sentences, and more
  • Expression – asking questions, relating events, using complete sentences, and giving directions
  • Grammar & Syntax – irregular plural nouns, past tense verbs, and comparatives; subject and verb agreement; whose vs. who's; and more
  • Multiple Meanings – words, phrases, and sentences
  • Figurative Language – identifying, explaining, associating, and using figurative language
  • Reasoning – comparing and contrasting, analogies, general vs. specific terms, inferencing, and more
