A curriculum is available with each book. Each unit corresponds with a   chapter of the book and includes  Reading Comprehension, Journal   Activities, Chapter Objective, Rigor and Relevance Activities, and   Exploratory Activities. Coaching and question-asking is fundamental to   each section. The curricula also include handouts, unit quizzes and   keys, and PowerPoint presentations.



Fundamentally, we believe that this content should be reviewed   and tested so that students can build their test-taking abilities and   also improve their memory techniques. Without the teeth of testing,   students can often disregard the class as non-academic.
