I focus on the standard that needs to be met for each lesson. If the standard is summarizing, i spend most of the lesson on those skills. What i can fit in at the end, I fit

We reformat a lot of the workbook pages because the boxes on the organizers are too small for kids to write in. It would make sense for our parents to see only 50-60% of the workbook pages used.

Just novel studies is not old school. That is fairly new school. In the old school, Language, Reading, Spelling, were separate subjects. Phonics, grammar, spelling, vocabulary were actually fully taught. Reading had an actual book with stories and follow-up questions and occasionally a novel studies were incorporated.

Why can’t kids read novels anymore? I wish CKLA was a supplement to just novel studies. Old school!

I am just glad MCPS has CKLA for lower levels. High school English is homemade, and it's not good.

OP. Thank you everyone. CKLA has great content. Our school doesn't cover all the lessons, but it seems this is normal.

I taught CKLA in VA, there is NO WAY you can teach and complete everything in each unit.

I know they skip some units-- see here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dA-LcquG3jhD92tGgfrG8US2GC_WYA7u/view?usp=sharing

It seems like a lot is being skipped over. Based on the workbooks that come home.

OP. Both would be ideal.

Are you looking for responses from teachers or parents? Teachers will have more information on this.

For those who follow the CKLA schedule and materials, do your kids cover all or most of the assignments in the ELA and Skills activity books or only some of them? Also, do you know if they cover all chapters in a unit or skip some? Thank you.
