Novels may be used to supplement standards instruction; however, classroom instruction should focus on covering the reading standards with a variety of shorter texts. The SAUSD Pacing Guide and Curriculum Map covers the required minimal pacing. Teachers are free to accelerate or provide enrichment activities according to the level of their classes. Teachers with honors/GATE students or classes with advanced ability students should differentiate the core curriculum using depth, complexity, novelty (such as independent research) and acceleration of content.
