Foundations of Language and Literature

AP(R) teachers know the roots of AP(R) success are established in the earlier grades. That is the idea behind Foundations of Language & Literature, a complete program for 9th Grade Pre-AP(R) that establishes foundational skills, while challenging bright young minds.

The book is driven by the expertise of Ren e Shea, John Golden, and Tracy Scholz who know that skills like reading, writing, and working with sources need careful development and constant reinforcement. This genre and mode-based book approaches the course in new ways, investigating nonfiction as well as literature, delving into fascinating argument-driven thematic units, and asking students to write in the genres, to empower them to read like a writer.

Innovative, challenging, and nurturing, Foundations of Language & Literature has all the support young minds need to be prepared for AP(R) success.

With the publication of Foundations of Language and Literature, BFW now offers a unified program of Pre-AP(R) and AP(R) English textbooks from grades 9 through 12, that guides students from introduction to mastery with a consistent tone and treatment of key AP(R) topics.
