A Curriculet is a digital layer of questions, quizzes and rich media, placed on top of any text. As students read a text, questions, quizzes and annotations (i.e. material that would normally be placed in worksheets) pop out of the text, so students are instructed and assessed as they read… at just the right moment." Teacher-created questions and quizzes are tied to Common Core standards and all editable. You can access the ready-to-teach curriculum by visiting their store. You can also build your own Curriculets from scratch using any of the texts in the Store or build using your own text. Additionally, you can extract content from a URL or upload content from a file and they'll upload it to your Library. Finally, you can view rich reports on student progress and Common Core mastery, assign readings from books that don't contain questions, share Curriculets with other teachers, and use theirs.

Audio, visual, and interactive components all reinforce the educational objectives identified by teachers at SAS Curriculum Pathways. SAS offers interactive learning tools in all core disciplines, mapped to state standards, for grades 6-12. SAS is also a provider of free apps that thousands of educators, traditional students and life-long learners are using. Example: I checked out the 'Strategies for Reading Nonfiction' interactive component. It allowed me to select a piece of nonfiction (I choose a biography of William Shakespeare). I then was directed through a few activities. I was told to scan the article and write my initial thoughts. Then I was told to read it carefully and respond to a few more questions. After reading the article, I was instructed to work with the information (making categories of facts, etc.). Finally, I had to draw conclusions about what I had read/learned. Students can then save, print, or email their completed work.
