Connections: Literature

Developed by Perfection Learning, the programme is designed for students in grades 6 to 8 and provides a structured approach to literary study that incorporates works from a range of voices, perspectives, and cultural backgrounds. The curriculum combines fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and drama with instructional materials intended to support reading comprehension, literary analysis, vocabulary development, and writing skills.

Texts are organised thematically to encourage students to draw connections between different works and consider how literature reflects varied human experiences. The programme includes teacher resources, lesson plans, and assessment tools to support classroom instruction, alongside student-facing materials such as anthologies and workbooks.

It is aligned to United States educational standards for English language arts and is used by schools and districts seeking a structured literature curriculum. Supplementary digital components provide additional activities, scaffolded reading supports, and tools for differentiated instruction, allowing teachers to adapt content to varying student reading levels and learning needs.
