Frequently Asked Questions about Savvas myVoice ELD.
-
How does Savvas myVoice ELD work with myView Literacy California (K-5) and myPerspectives ELA California (6-12)?These programs form a synchronized, research-based literacy solution engineered specifically to meet the requirements of California's Basic ELA/ELD Program 2. myView California (K-5) and myPerspectives California (6-12) serve as the core English Language Arts foundation, developing critical literacy skills through reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Meanwhile, myVoice ELD serves as the Designated ELD companion, providing explicit instruction to help multilingual learners master academic language forms and functions. Together, they ensure a cohesive learning experience throughout the instructional day.
-
Does myVoice ELD meet California's state standards and frameworks?Yes. The program is aligned with the CA CCSS for ELA, the CA ELD standards, and the 2025 Roadmap. Savvas myVoice ELD specifically meets 100% of the California ELD Standards. Furthermore, the dual-program framework is built entirely around the California ELA/ELD Framework's five research-based themes: Meaning Making, Language Development, Effective Expression, Content Knowledge, and Foundational Skills.

-
What should a myVoice ELD classroom look and sound like?It is intentionally engineered to be a "loud classroom." The program establishes an interactive, supportive, and slower-paced environment where multilingual learners feel safe practicing and improving their English. Instead of rote memorization, it empowers students to find their "voice" through peer-to-peer collaboration and high-interest, age-appropriate content area texts.

What specific tools are available for English Learners?myVoice ELD provides tools such as Look, Talk, Learn cards, Multisensory Resources, Language Spotlight Skills, Language Coach, Language Transfer guides, and more. Students are encouraged to demonstrate content knowledge using flexible expression methods, including utilizing their home language, visual aids, gestures, or drawings.
-
How do I assess my students?myVoice ELD K-5 includes a summative assessment in Week 6 at the end of each unit, which is designed to highlight skills and knowledge from the unit of study, to integrate key concepts, and to ensure that students clearly demonstrate mastery of the content language objectives. myVoice ELD 6-12 offers class work, projects, teacher observations, student self-assessment, and high-stakes test practice. Assessment tools such as checklists and rubrics are available to help teachers monitor student progress.
