ARIS Lessons Build a Strong Foundation and Adapt to Meet Individual Student Needs
The lessons in the ARIS curriculum build upon each other, starting with foundational skills that are essential for advancing a child's academic abilities in reading, writing, math, and beyond.
Opening exercises develop essential life skills such as following instructions, sitting attentively, and understanding basic communication.
Later lessons prepare kids for success in the curriculum and beyond. In fact, these skills can be seen as learning to learn.
Learners progress systematically into early literacy, numeracy, and writing skills, at the pace that is right for them

ARIS: An Integrated Solution for Educators
ARIS is designed to create a continuous feedback loop from assessment, to lesson placement, to paired IEP goals, to data keeping, and back to assessment, so students are always on track and records are always up-to-date.
Starting with assessments, educators can identify student needs and establish personalized IEP goals. These goals are directly tied to specific lessons, ensuring targeted instruction that meets each student’s developmental milestones.
Educators can then track student progress through data-keeping tools, allowing for real-time adjustments and continuous feedback.
This integrated cycle—assessments, IEP goals, lessons, and data tracking—ensures that every aspect of a child’s education is connected, making ARIS a comprehensive solution for driving measurable growth and academic readiness.

"ARIS® has led to a massive improvement in Anne May’s classroom. Growth from all of our students. Growth from our educators. Growth from our aides. As an administrator, it is really amazing to see the whole package moving in the direction we want to see it move.”
Hear directly from our educators and parents how ARIS has transformed their education program
"With everything in one place ARIS makes it easy to teach any skill. The manipulatives, 3D objects and 2D images are easy to use and the ARIS curriculum contains enough variety to make it fun and engaging for the students while it helps student learn new vocabulary and generalize skills. The online tool makes it easy to print data and activity sheets and the IEP goals to go with the lessons make IEP writing a breeze."
Ing-Marie Janke
"We partnered with Stages Learning to conduct a needs assessment for our Special Education Programs Pre K - 12 to align our student needs with programs. Their consultants have been well received by our staff and commended for their knowledge and detail when gathering information to make recommendations for enhancing our existing programs and possibly establishing new programs. They spoke with numerous staff members across our 15 schools and were able to provide a quick turnaround with some emergent special education needs.”
Donna Reichman
ARIS is a curriculum that nicely aligns to not only state and core standards as well as the VB-MAPP. Our district has been able to align the ARIS curriculum to work on challenges noted on the VB-MAPP to increase language and communication skills for our students ages 3-5 years old."

Approaches to Learning
The Approaches to Learning content category contains the foundational lessons that prepare students for success in the Language Builder: ARIS program and beyond. In fact, the skills learned in this category can be seen as learning to learn. Examples include Attention & Imitation, Following Directions, Matching, Sorting & Classifying, Understanding Concepts of Time, and Recall & Recital.
Language
Typically developing children pick up language from their environment so naturally that it is easy to forget there are discrete developmental processes at work. Children with learning delays or other challenges may have a harder time. The lessons in the ARIS Language content category are designed to provide students with basic language concepts and skills to help them communicate with the world around them, by naming and describing objects, making needs and desires known, and interacting or conversing with others.
Motor Skills
Motor skills enable children to participate in social and play-related activities, such as coloring, crafts, and puzzles; sports and recreation; self-help activities like feeding, grooming, and dressing themselves; actions of independent living like opening containers, drawers, and doors; and academic skills, such as writing. The ARIS Motor Skills content category contains lessons that will support the development of the fine and gross motor skills most typically developing children acquire prior to entering kindergarten.
Social Skills & Emotions
Social skills are essential for all children as they learn to navigate relationships and engage with the world around them. Developing the ability to recognize emotions, communicate effectively, and interact positively with peers is crucial for building strong connections. ARIS Social Skills lessons help children acquire these important skills, supporting emotional understanding and fostering healthy relationships, both in and out of the classroom.
Functional Routines
Functional routines are the routine activities that are necessary for daily living and for establishing quality of life. If a student does not master the ability to complete these routines without assistance, they will need to rely on others to carry out the basic activities of independent living. When learned, these skills can be immediately applied to daily routines, having a substantial positive impact on the students and on their families. Language Builder ARIS Functional Routines lessons address major functional routines required for children to accomplish self-care, as well as participation in typical family and classroom practices.
Reading & Writing Readiness
Learning to read is a critical skill. Everything from vocabulary growth to performance across all major subjects at school is linked to reading ability. Conventional wisdom on typical academic progression is that until 4th grade children are learning to read. After 4th grade, they read to learn. The lessons in ARIS will introduce the student to print and narrative awareness, basic phonics, and sight reading skills. Completion of the ARIS Reading & Writing Readiness lessons will put students in a good place to transition to a formal reading and writing curriculum.
Math Readiness
Even as infants, children are intuitively sensitive to mathematical concepts, such as quantity, well before they have any capacity to understand the concept of numbers. Parents and educators naturally build upon these early intuitions by noticing and naming numbers as they come up in the student’s environment. Before kids are ready to do formal mathematics they must understand concepts like visual discrimination of shapes, recognition of patterns, number recognition, counting, and sets. Math skills provide a foundation for critical life skills such as measuring, comparison, time, and money. Language Builder ARIS Math Readiness lessons cover these pre-mathematics concepts as well as some basic addition and subtraction.
