Pacing and Leveling: One academic year. The text chapters cover such a large amount of grammar and at such a high level that students will be covering roughly one grammar or one vocabulary group per week so as to ensure understanding. This will also allow them to clear up grammar misconceptions or issues that they have had previously and may continue to struggle with before moving on. Note these are approximations.
