Introduction to English Language Arts Standards(ELA) Research and evidence based Aligned with college and work expectations,
starts with those expectations and works backward to Kindergarten
Rigorous Internationally benchmarked Divided into three main sections: K-5
section, English Language Arts grades 6-12 section and content-area grades 6-12
Key Design Considerations Common Core Reading and Writing
Standards anchor the document Grade specific standards in K-8, grade
bands for 9-10 and 11-12 Focus on results, rather than means Integrated model of literacy Shared responsibility for students’
literacy development
What is NOT Covered by the Standards CCSS define what students are expected
to know and do, NOT how teachers should teach
CCSS articulate fundamentals, but NOT all that can or should be taught
CCSS set grade specific standards, but does NOT define interventions, modifications, or advanced work, nor designate materials
English Language Arts StrandsReadingFoundational SkillsWritingSpeaking and ListeningLanguage Standards
Reading Ten Anchor Standards for Kindergarten
through twelfth grade Detailed standards for both literature
and informational texts Four sections: Key Ideas and Details,
Craft and Structure, Integration of Knowledge and ideas, and Ranges of Reading and Level of Text Complexity
Shift: equal emphasis on literature and informational texts
Foundational Skills (K-5) Fosters “understanding and working
knowledge of concepts of print, the alphabetic principle, and other basic conventions”
Includes print concepts, phonological awareness, phonics and word recognition, and fluency
Writing Ten Anchor Standards for Kindergarten
through Twelfth grade Four sections include: Text Types and
Purposes, Production and Distribution of Writing, Research to Build and Present Knowledge, and Range of Writing
Shift: equal emphasis on opinion, informative/explanatory, and narrative writing
Listening and Speaking Six Anchor Standards correspond to the
specific standards for each grade level, similar to the Anchor Standards’ structure in Reading and Writing
Two sections: Comprehension and Collaboration and Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas
May be integrated into reading and writing as well as content standards
Language Standards Six Anchor Standards correspond to the
specific standards for each grade level, similar to the Anchor Standards’ structure in Reading and Writing
Three sections: Conventions of Standard English, Knowledge of Language, and Vocabulary Acquisition and Use
Although a stand alone strand they are inseparable from reading, writing, speaking and listening
Reading Anchor Standard 1 “Read closely to determine what the
text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.”
Progression of Standard One: Kindergarten-4th Grade Kindergarten: With prompting and
support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.
First grade: Ask and answer questions about key details in a text.
Second Grade: Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.
Progression of Standard One: Kindergarten-4th Grade Third Grade: Ask and answer
questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.
Fourth Grade: Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
Reading Anchor Standard 10Text Complexity “Read and comprehend complex
literary and informational texts independently and proficiently.”
Progression of Standard Ten: Kindergarten-4th Grade Kindergarten: Actively engage in group reading
activities with purpose and understanding. First Grade: With prompting and support, read
prose and poetry of appropriate complexity for grade 1.
Second Grade: By the end of the year read and comprehend literature, including stories and poetry, in the grades 2–3 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
Progression of Standard Ten: Kindergarten-4th Grade Third Grade: By the end of the year, read
and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poetry, at the high end of the grades 2–3 text complexity band independently and proficiently.
Fourth Grade: By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poetry, in the grades 4–5 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
“Hunter Games” Activity Reading experience with text
complexity using an article from the New Yorker
“Hunter Games” Debrief Describe your experience reading each
version of the article Imagine this experience from your
child’s perspective with a text that is too complex or not in their independent reading range
Leveled Texts Teachers assess students in various
ways with diagnostic assessments After considering formal and informal
assessments, including anecdotal notes, teachers help match readers and texts
Bands of levels and book characteristics support student behaviors and skills
Stages of Development to Support Text Complexity Six stages of development for Elementary
students: Emerging, Developing, Beginning, Expanding, Bridging, and Fluent
Examples of each stage with text representation both literature and informational
Chart on student behaviors and book characteristics
Booklists for each stage of development
