English Language Arts List of Text Sets 2014-2015 To prepare for 2014-2015 English language arts curriculum, the Department will publish a set of ELA Guidebooks. These guidebooks will include 4-6 unit plans for every grade level from kindergarten through 12th grade. While, these guidebooks will be released throughout the spring, the Department is publishing the complete list of texts included in the guidebooks. This list should help districts begin planning and purchasing decisions for the 2014-15 school year. As always, districts are free to choose any instructional materials they deem appropriate for their students. If districts choose to use the Department's unit plans, district leaders, school leaders, and teachers will need to choose which of the units will be taught in their schools. On average, teachers will teach 4 units during the year. The Department will publish up to 6 units per grade level. As such, the decisions whether to use a unit are left entirely to local school authorities. How to Use this List Gr.
