Instructional Materials
Reviewed PRIME v1 and v2 Correlations and PRIME 2020 alignments

WIDA is pleased to list instructional materials that have gone through the PRIME process and received a PRIME seal.
We will be adding materials that have gone through the WIDA PRIME 2020 alignment process, as well as materials for WIDA PRIME V2 for Spanish Language Development Correlations as they become available.
You may filter for correlations that were previously correlated with PRIME V1 and PRIME V2, or aligned with PRIME 2020:
PRIME V1 includes materials that were correlated with the retired WIDA English Language Proficiency Standards, 2007 Edition
PRIME V2 includes materials that were correlated with the retired 2012 Amplification of the WIDA English Language Development Standards
PRIME V2 Español includes materials that were correlated with the WIDA Spanish Language Development Standards, 2013 Edition
PRIME 2020 includes materials that are aligned to the current WIDA English Language Development Standards Framework, 2020 Edition
Please note that WIDA does not endorse any set of instructional materials. WIDA PRIME is not an evaluative tool that judges the effectiveness of published materials. EL teachers work with a wide range of needs and in a wide range of environments. For this reason, teachers should consider the information contained in the WIDA PRIME documents to determine how particular materials fit in their program.

English Language Development (ELD) Level 1 by Language Tree Online |
Language Tree Online ELD Level 1 is a new digital curriculum for Entering/Beginning level English learners in grades 6-12. The program is aligned with the latest ELD standards and is composed of five modules that can be used together or standalone. It includes in-depth assessments and reporting to help ELA/ELD educators pinpoint literacy areas - such as sentence construction - that need additional support. Based on results from an initial “entry” assessment, teachers can assign appropriate online lessons as well as lead classroom activities (activity sheets included in the program) that target specific literacy skills. There is also an “exit” assessment to measure growth and improvement after the lessons are completed. The three lesson modules: (1) Foundational Literacy Skills, (2) Collaborative Listening and Speaking and (3) Language Function and Construction, cover all four domains of language acquisition. Every lesson includes video input and an interactive exercise output so students can learn and practice. An engaging combination of video, audio, text, and images provide equity of access for all levels of learners. The final component is a unique acculturation support module that presents practical insights into American school life and norms so Newcomer students can feel more comfortable in (and better maneuver around) their new school environment. |

Each lesson is standard aligned, paced at students’ needs, and structured to give students control over their own educational journeys. Exact Path can be used in classrooms as part of a station rotation model, in technology lab settings, for individual student work times, for small group sessions with specialists or paraprofessionals, in a flipped classroom model, and even as a resource for explanations during whole class instruction. Because it individualizes instruction, Exact Path can be used for every student in your class, whether that learner is struggling and needs support or intervention, whether they are on track and ready for new challenges, or whether they are accelerated and ready to move ahead at their own pace. In addition to the rich instruction, it includes regular assessments through the two or three diagnostic tests given during the year or the regular progress checks that confirm student mastery after every three or four lessons. |
