Pathways K-8 Language Arts Program


What does ANGEL have to do with the Pathways Program?

  • Each Pathways theme book has a Daily Lesson Guides (DLG) that is required accompany it.
  • In the back of each DLG is a bibliography of books that can be used in correlation with the theme books.
  • ANGEL has agreed to purchase books listed in the bibliography and pass their discount advantages along to the schools. ANGEL can get an average of 40% off retail prices on selected titles from our primary publishing warehouse.
  • ANGEL will then catalog and process the books for the school just like their library books. This helps keep inventory controlled.

 Southern Union Stipulations:

  • The bibliography listed in the back of each Daily Lesson Guide (DLG) contains the list of books for student self-selected reading, or student independent reading. Up to fifty percent (50%) of ANGEL funds can be used to purchase only the books listed in the bibliography located in the back of each DLG.  The per pupil ANGEL expenditure is $35.00 per year for the elementary schools (Southern Union Schools).  Of that $35, 40% ($14) goes to overhead (cataloging, processing, etc.); 60% ($21) of the $35 goes to books. Out of that $21, 50% (up to $10.50) can go to buy Pathways books, and 50% ($10.50) can go to pay for other books.
  • We encourage schools to purchase all books listed in the bibliography through ANGEL for inventory control purposes.  Prepayment is required for ordering additional books listed in the bibliography beyond the allotted ANGEL per pupil expenditure. Books ordered beyond the allotted pupil expenditure can be purchased at the regular price. ANGEL will catalogue and maintain an inventory list of all books purchased.
  • ANGEL funds cannot be used to purchase the Theme Books, or those books used for guided reading.  These items can be ordered through Kendall/Hunt Publishing or other sources. Theme books can be ordered and prepaid for through ANGEL

Pathways Theme Booklist Books & Self Selected/Independent Reading Book Lists:

Please note that the books labeled with "TB" are Theme Booklist Books that are required to support the themes. The rest are optional self-selected/independent reading books.
