New Print and Digital Solution for Middle School English Learners and Striving Readers

Bridges to Literature and Content is a comprehensive, standards-based literacy program designed to empower middle school students to become stronger independent readers. This powerful print and digital solution develops academic language and literacy skills through authentic texts and content-driven lessons, while addressing the proficiency needs of every student.

“We came upon the curriculum Bridges and we loved it because it incorporates cultural relevant pedagogy, and that's part of my teaching philosophy. It also connects to all the content areas and it has lessons that are related to [the students]. I also like the accessibility that it gives us as a team: we have all the testing material, we have the curriculum, the map sequencing … we have it all right there! I'm just very thankful that [students] love it and it's making my life easier as a teacher too.”
