Collaborative Literacy Texas Edition, Digital Samples

Digital Review Samples

Collaborative Literacy, aligned with TEKS and ELPS, is a rigorous, yearlong curriculum that addresses the core reading, writing, and speaking and listening skills that students need to thrive academically and socially.

Collaborative Classroom is pleased to provide digital review samples for Proclamation 2019. The “Pre-adoption Review Samples” are electronic samples of the Collaborative Literacy instructional materials for English language arts and reading for grades K–5. Each grade level file includes all of the print components (teachers manuals and student consumable materials) included in the program. For more information about Collaborative Literacy, visit our website.

Viewing the Sample Documents

1. Click the link for the grade-level document you wish to review.
2. It may take a few minutes for the document to load. You can view the file within your browser window or download the file (again, this may take a few minutes). If downloading the file, we recommend using Adobe Reader to view the documents.

Trade Book Previews
