SpringBoard English Language Arts: College Board's official Pre-AP curriculum
SpringBoard English Language Arts students develop and refine skills in critical thinking, close reading, writing in various genres, and research. Over the course of the program, they read and analyze a wide range of texts in genres including poetry, novels, plays, biographies, fiction and nonfiction narratives, speeches, and films. Students also learn to write essays, poetry, narratives, argumentative texts and research papers. Each grade level uses complex, grade appropriate texts that allow students to examine ideas from multiple points of view while working with a variety of genres. Students progress from guided reading through collaborative projects to confident, independent work.
