English 3D Updates for Early Learners

Designed by Dr. Kate Kinsella, English 3D is an explicit and interactive English language development program for multilingual learners in grades K–12. The curriculum builds upon existing linguistic strengths, enabling rapid acquisition of the academic speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills needed for reclassification, secondary school, college, and career.


English 3D has earned the WIDA Prime 2020 Seal, indicating its alignment to the current WIDA English Language Development Standards Framework, 2020 edition. English 3D received the highest score possible (a “4” rating) in all areas of review, indicating its “strong and comprehensive” alignment to the WIDA Standards Framework.


Program author Dr. Kate Kinsella has dedicated her career to recognizing and building on multilingual learners’ existing strengths to propel them to academic success. English 3D was developed from this dedication, using Dr. Kinsella’s classroom-tested, research-proven instructional routines as the backbone o the program.


Each course provides engaging, age-appropriate materials and instruction. The common thread throughout all the courses is Dr. Kinsella’s consistent, teacher-guided instructional routines that are proven to accelerate acquisition.
