Empowering multilingual learners to find their voice in English
All Sorts is a supplemental program designed for K–5 students who are new to the English language. While building and reinforcing key language skills, the program cultivates curiosity, celebrates diversity, and champions fun so that every student can contribute rich insights to their classroom community.
Active Learning
All Sorts empowers students to take ownership of their learning with hands-on activities including songs, chants, games, stories, puzzles, and role plays that incorporate reading, writing, listening and speaking.
Flexible Implementation
Easily adaptable for specific instructional needs, All Sorts can be used during small-group work within a core literacy classroom or during longer intensive sessions. The program offers additional activity suggestions for all lesson types and options to modify lesson plans to include individual, pair, or group work.
Guided Support and Gradual Release
Learning is scaffolded at every stage throughout All Sorts. At the beginning of each lesson, students review prior knowledge so they can expand on what they already know. New vocabulary and grammar skills are introduced across two lessons in each unit to gradually build upon new concepts, with continuous assessment guiding instruction throughout each lesson.

To achieve proficiency in English, students must be able to read, write, listen, and speak about a wide range of topics, which is why every unit of All Sorts features lessons dedicated to each domain as well as lessons that target multiple domains at once.
Engaging fiction and non-fiction texts in every unit guide students as they develop reading skills and explore vocabulary in context.
Initial lessons focus on letter work before advancing to word work, grammar, and writing responses to help students build expressive language skills.
As students advance through the program, they progress from hearing, understanding, and repeating simple sentences to answering questions, processing instructions, and contributing to conversations during Listening and Speaking lessons.
Each unit in All Sorts is organized around an engaging, relevant theme like “family events” or “afterschool fun,” so students can build the vocabulary and language skills necessary to read, write, listen, and talk about it in their day-to-day lives.
Integrated Learning
Age-appropriate integrated learning features give students the opportunity to explore cross-curricular subjects including science, social studies, and math while building English language skills.
Storytelling Video
Four storytelling videos per level naturally incorporate grammar and syntax so learners can access new vocabulary presented in a familiar context.
