Each volume of The Essentials is composed of a ring-binder and 120 worksheets on the main topics from the history, geography and science program in third, forth and fifth grade.
These inclusive materials are particularly aimed at pupils with greater educational difficulties, pupils with disabilities and pupils with Special Educational Needs.

The worksheet folder is accompanied by a user’s guide for the teacher.
Text Objectives
With The Essentials two objectives to be reached are proposed:
Subject contents
The worksheets are divided in three sections: history, geography, and science; each one indicated by a different colour. Each section covers the following topics:
The Essentials – Year three
The Essentials – Year four
The Essentials – Year five
Structure of the text
Each binder contains simplified worksheets dealing with three subjects: history, geography and science; each one indicated by a different colour. In particular, three different kinds of sheets are provided:
In order not to burden the cognitive load of the worksheets, the deliveries addressed to the students were summarized in easy-access icons.
Pathway Worksheets
The Pathway Worksheets present essential key concepts on the main topics from the various subjects in a simplified way.
In the Pathway Worksheets, more precisely, the essential aspects of the disciplinary contents are proposed in order to allow students with greater difficulties the possibility to participate and complete the activity.
In particular, the Pathway Worksheets require the students to:
Cooperative Worksheets
The Cooperative Worksheets “strength in numbers” propose activities that require interaction among the students: in some cases the work is organized in partners, and in others, small groups.
Even in this case, the exercises require the students to complete, trace or color in words or drawings, and in many cases, to re-elaborate information that the children already know or have learned in the activities related to the Pathway Worksheets.
Goal Worksheets
The Goal Worksheets can be found at the end of each chapter and summarize the most important aspects of information proposed in the various Pathways Worksheets. They are in A3 format, double the size of the other worksheets, and can be consulted at any time as a synthesis element for all the students. The A3 format also allows them to be used as summary posters to hang on the walls, always available to all students in the class.
The Goal Worksheets also offer the students the possibility to actively re-elaborate the information, completing some portions of text or illustrations, by hand or with the use of the stickers supplied in the folder.
