COMPASS 1 READING LOG

With the Language Log, students follow a comprehensive thinking-, content-, and skills-based curriculum. They discuss nine Big Questions a year, exploring fiction and non-fiction sources, and learn explicit grammar and vocabulary in a methodical, competency-based CEFR approach to the four skills.

The Phonics and Spelling Log follows US Common Core Standards, with an expanded syllabus for early literacy support in basic sounds and spelling conventions.

This step-by-step guide to how vocabulary and grammar work follows a solid language curriculum based on the CEFR. You can use the Vocabulary and Grammar Log, which mirrors the Language Log, to extend the core language program, making Compass more structural than literacy-based.

The scaffolded writing program in this Log covers US Common Core writing strategies following a detailed process writing approach. Students learn about and produce a wide range of age- and level-appropriate texts in different genres, through guided writing tasks with a Model Text.
