Bringing a New Energy to Every Classroom Thank you for taking the time to review the SpringBoard® English Language Arts Program. Please use this walk-through and checklist to familiarize yourself with our program.
Taking a fresh approach with SpringBoard SpringBoard is an integrated English Language Arts (ELA) instructional program for grades 6–12, available in print and as an award-winning digital platform. Created by teachers for teachers,SpringBoard is a research-based, student-centered approach. This classroom-tested curriculum is completely aligned to state standards, Advanced Placement® (AP®) course frameworks, and the SAT® Suite of Assessments to teach students the skills and knowledge that matter most for college and career readiness.
Engaging students with an integrated approach to literacy SpringBoard moves right into compelling texts, giving you tools, supports, and pedagogical approaches to let students engage with the content. We believe reading, writing, speaking, and listening are learned best when learned together. You’ll see examples of this integrated approach throughout our materials.
Beginning with the end in mind Embedded Assessments in each unit form the backbone of the instructional pathway by giving students and teachers explicit learning goals and destinations. Students understand why the skills they’re developing matter.

Inspiring independent reading SpringBoard motivates students to want to read and encourages teachers to choose texts they want to teach. Independent reading lists, links, and checkpoints are included in every unit at each grade level. In addition, our partnership with Zinc Learning Labs provides an ever-growing library of independent reading options. Teachers and students can select from a range of fiction and nonfiction texts, as well as magazine and newspaper articles and visual texts.
