The Learning Gate® Language Arts Curriculum is composed of a series of trade paperback literature at each grade level 3-8, based on the two biomes.  While reading a book selection as a class, the book selection becomes the textbook where the students learn basic skills such as vocabulary, writing, science and math around an environmental and/or social issue.

Continuing with the scaffolding approach begun in Open Court Reading ©2002, elementary and middle school Language Arts expands the skills and content with a strong focus on the environment.  A major literary focus is Florida with specific reference to its varied ecosystems.
