OVERVIEW
New Alberta English Language Arts Resources
This list of English language arts resources, Kindergarten to Grade 10, contains resources that
have been authorized for use in Alberta schools. Alberta Learning selects and authorizes the
best possible instructional materials for the implementation of approved programs of study. The
resource authorization categories are basic, authorized teaching or support, and the status is
noted for each resource.
Basic learning resources are those student learning resources authorized by Alberta
Learning as the most appropriate for addressing the majority of outcomes of the
course(s) or substantial components of the course(s); or the most appropriate for
meeting general outcomes across two or more grade levels.
Support learning resources are those student learning resources authorized by Alberta
Learning to assist in addressing some of the outcomes of the course(s) or components
of the course(s); or to assist in meeting the outcomes across two or more grade levels.
Authorized Teaching resources are those teaching resources identified as the best
available resources to support the implementation of programs of study and courses;
they may be teacher guides to accompany student resources or teacher professional
resources. The authorized teaching guides are listed with the student resources, while
the authorized teaching professional resources are listed at the end of the booklet.
These Alberta authorized resources were selected from the English language arts resource list
approved by the Western Canadian Protocol (WCP). The WCP Review of Resources began in
fall 1997 and continued through to spring 2001.
The list of these new Alberta English language arts resources is organized by grade,
WCP
Kindergarten to Grade 10. The categories used as organizers are integrated resources,
series, book collections, individual student resources, and individual teaching resources.
Note:
Alberta Learning strongly recommends that teachers read all selections in
the student texts and all activities in the teacher guides prior to using them
with students. Careful consideration should be given to the sensitivities of
both the student audience and the community.
