Connect to Literacy (C2L) is a cutting-edge solution designed to enhance English language proficiency by leveraging the strengths of an online curriculum. A supportive online environment designed to fast-track English language learning, aid in quicker reclassification and vocabulary growth, and accelerate speaking, listening, reading, and writing development.
3 Progress Monitoring ELD BENCHMARKS
Success with C2L is centered around the 3 ELD Progress Monitoring Benchmarks students take throughout the year which generate 3 corresponding Personalized Learning Plans (PLPs) and class grouping reports.
PersonalizedLearning Plans
The PLPs are divided into four domains: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Each PLP is designed to focus on the specific concepts and skills that each student needs the most. Students can progress through their PLP assignments at their own pace.
Each PLP contains:
Video lesson models, guided practice, assessments and model exemplars
Scaffolded and linguistically accommodated instruction
AI auto-scoring for Speaking and Writing item types
Comprehensive progress-monitoring and reports for teachers
Year-Round ELD and Access Readiness
C2L’s content is aligned to the WIDA™ ELD Standards Framework consisting of four components: ELD Standards, Key Language Uses, Language Expectations, and Proficiency Level Descriptors. Through accounting for all of these components and the three difficulty tiers, C2L’s program contains more than 1,400 unique items leveled to all WIDA™ grade-level clusters: K, 1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8, and 9-12.

Pronunciation Perfector™ AI
Real-time corrective feedback on pronunciation of English words.
Students practice saying words into the microphone...

Language Foundational Skills created through a multilingual lens
Based on the Science of Reading for Multilingual Learners, C2L employs an asset-based instructional design, offering MLLs ample chances to listen, read, speak, and write at their current language development levels while gradually increasing the linguistic complexity of the academic language they read and hear, and are expected to speak and write.
Using a functional approach to language development, C2L focuses on the purposeful use of language. A comprehensive instructional approach connects the language and code-based skills necessary to build upon MLLs broad language-based skills and related knowledge.
Language building blocks
Consisting of Phonemic Awareness, Encoding/Decoding, Syntax, and Morphological Awareness, Language Building Blocks address newcomer needs using a linguistic phonics approach.
Example of a Phonemic Awareness "Learn" video.
Virtual Mirror
Using the Virtual Mirror, students can practice articulatory gestures by first watching an example video and then using their webcam to zoom in on their mouth and repeat the gesture.
REal-TIme, Data-Rich Reports
Alongside the PLPs, C2L provides 40+ reports useful to both teachers and administrators. Whether you need a high-level view of an entire district or detail on a single student, C2L has you covered.
Reports provide teachers with real-time insights into students’ ongoing language growth. At-a-glance, see which proficiency level students are at, then drill down to learn in which areas students need additional practice and support.
