Transitional kindergarten and early-learning curriculum
The 2026 ELA/ELD follow-up review makes transitional kindergarten visible as a curriculum market of its own, including ELA, integrated ELA/ELD, biliteracy, and broader early-learning packages.
Evidence represented: 2026 advisory California state-review evidence.
These are review-pathway participants, not a final list of state-adopted programs. Local implementation and the precise role of each package require district-level confirmation.

How to interpret this preliminary list
Products are discovery anchors, not endorsements. “State adopted or reviewed” means a product entered an official California pathway. “Locally documented” means a California district publicly identified the material as adopted or in use. Absence from this list means unknown—follow-up required, not non-use.
