Early Scholars English ProgramG1–G4

The courses are the same leveled classes, and three things differ. One assessment places all three modules, so reading, vocabulary, and writing sit at matched difficulty. Outside reading is assigned to the child's own reading level and followed up on. Levels and emphasis for the next stage are then set together from the periodic assessment, rather than course by course.

The standard plan meets twice a week and suits families who need to keep time free for math, sports, or music. The intensive plan meets three times a week and suits students who started English late, or who plan to sit the ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) or Irvine's APAAS gifted-program screening around grade 4 and need to progress faster.

Go by the assessment. If the child's reading level is already well above grade level, a single module is enough, writing only for example. If the three areas are far apart, such as reading quickly but writing very little, the bundled program's single placement is better suited to correcting that imbalance.

Parents only need to confirm that the daily reading time is completed. There is no need to explain texts or set questions at home. Teachers assign the titles by reading level, check and discuss them in class, and report the learning data to families in the periodic assessment.
