Writing titles are available for each year of high school and are fully integrated with Literature and Skills as a comprehensive English course. This series stresses the creative process of writing by allowing teachers to interact with student portfolios. Through the many writing exercises, students learn to express emotion, communicate information, persuade an audience to take action, and tell dramatic stories. The exercises broaden the students’ perspective of surroundings, people, communities, and the world as they develop an extensive pool of ideas from which to draw. The upper grade-level courses contain specialized lessons focused on such subjects as research, resumes, and literary analysis.

As in most high school English classes, the primary emphasis is on literature and writing in response to literature and a variety of issues. However, A+LS also includes instruction in the essential basic literacy skills. The English Skills titles represent a revision and expansion of the titles formerly published as Secondary Reading, Secondary Building Vocabulary, and Secondary Language Usage. The content is now aligned to specific grade levels. Each of the titles provides instruction in three key areas: Vocabulary Development, Reading Decoding, Reading Comprehension Skills, as well as Writing conventions such as grammar, usage, and mechanics. All the instruction is tailored to the grade level in which it is provided.
