ABCs with Ace and Christi 

The ABCs with Ace and Christi Program is a 12-to-15-week course for students who have never been in school or who do not yet know how to read. Children who scored 100 percent on Test A and 80 percent or higher on Test B of the ABCs with Ace and Christi Pretest are generally ready to read. These students can begin the ABCs with Ace and Christi program.

Most children who are below the age of 5, or those who score less than 80 percent on the test, are not physically ready to learn the skills involved in reading. These students will benefit more from the Kindergarten with Ace and Christi program. We strongly recommend that they begin with the Kindergarten with ACE and Christi program until they are ready in their reading skills.

Speaking English with Ace and Christi 

Speaking English with ACE and Christi program is a series of 60 lessons designed for young preschool-aged children learning to speak English as a second language. The lessons teach conversational English and prepare students for ABCs with Ace and Christi program.

ABCs for English Learners 

 ABCs for English Learners program is designed for children ages 5–9 who have passed the ABCs with Ace and Christi Pretest. It combines two of our reading programs (Speaking English with Ace and Christi and ABCs with Ace and Christi) for a 30–36 week program. This combined course allows students to learn to read and speak English with enough comprehension to begin learning the first level English instruction units by week nineteen.

This new combined curriculum vocabulary has been modified with the English as a second language educator in mind. Instructions and stories are written for educators teaching students who are learning English.

This program provides lessons for aural and oral language development that include:

  1. Verbal communication is encouraged though the use of games, songs, stories, poems, and other fun activities.
  2. English vocabulary is taught that is necessary for children to verbally communicate their questions, statements, needs, and ideas.
  3. English language comprehension is taught that allows the student to advance through the first level in Math, English, Social Studies, and Science much more quickly than enrolling in Speaking English with ACE and Christi and ABCs with ACE and Christi
