Included in the resource is a variety of formats to support resource-based learning. Instructional strategies are explained and differentiating instruction is included to assist teachers with the diversity within the classrooms.

A comprehensive approach is used to teach the cues and conventions and they are incorporated into the framework of the lesson plans. There are cross-curricular units that link to science and social studies.
The teacher's guide is detailed and comprehensive with formative and summative assessment tools. Teacher reflection is emphasized.
