2002 K-8 Reading/Language Arts Adoption Criteria
In addition to the basic program, some students will need extra assistance to successfully complete grade-level content. All publishers are asked to provide additional instructional materials for special populations of students. The purpose of these additions to the program is to ensure that students will participate successfully in the basic reading/language arts program and will achieve mastery of the English-language arts standards. These materials would include 1) teacher and pupil English language development support materials for English learners of approximately 30 to 45 minutes each day to be used in addition and connected to the basic instruction in the regular classroom; 2) teacher and pupil special education support materials for special education pupils of approximately 30 to 45 minutes each day to be used in addition and connected to the basic instruction in the regular classroom.
