The Step by Step Curriculum offers:

• A comprehensive, level-based approach to teaching English
• Sequential lessons covering all language domains (speaking, listening, reading, and writing, along with some explicit grammar)
• Targeted homework activities after each lesson
• Progress tests at the end of each unit
