Another Note: California Collections also has materials for 9-12. I got the chance to look at them and I was really impressed. If you are have a student that will be in grades 9-12 next year, and are looking for a Language Arts option, this might be for you. Since it is not on the recommended list, there won't be pacing guides available from Visions, but there is no reason you can't use it.
