Additional Language and Literacy Block
The Additional Language and Literacy (ALL) Block is 1 hour of instruction per day. It is designed to work in concert with and in addition to the 1-hour Grades 3–5 ELA “module lessons.” Taken together, these 2 hours of instruction comprehensively address all the
Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. The ALL Block is divided into ve components: Additional Work with Complex Text; Reading and Speaking Fluency/GUM (Gram- mar, Usage, and Mechanics); Writing Practice; Word Study and Vocabulary; and Independent Reading.
The ALL Block for each unit contains the following:
■ Unit Overview outlining the instruction and activities that will take place in each compon- ent of the Additional Language and Literacy time in a given unit. It also contains suggested grouping for each component.
■ Sample Calendar suggesting when to begin an ALL Block unit and when to take ex days to support alignment between the ALL Block and the module lessons.
■ Teacher and student materials for each component, organized in the order they will be used, including:
— Teacher Guides: Each guide contains two 20-minute blocks of teacher-guided instruc- tion for a component, di erentiated for di erent levels, including English language learners (ELLs).
— Teacher-Guided Student Activity Cards: Students complete these activity cards with teacher support during the 20-minute teacher-guided instruction. Cards are di eren- tiated.
— Student Task Cards: Each task card contains two days of tasks for a component. Stu- dents complete these task cards independently. Task cards are not di erentiated, to en- able students to provide peer support and coaching.
— Additional Printed Materials: These may include game pieces or texts students will need either during teacher-guided instruction or when working independently.
