1. Literacy Standards for Content Areas
A single K-5 set of grade-specific standards


Most or all of the instruction students receive comes
from one teacher
Two content-area specific sections for grades
6-12



One set of standards for ELA teachers
One set of standards for History/Social Studies,
Science, and Technical Subject teachers
The literacy standards in History/Social Studies, Science, and
Technical Subjects are meant to compliment the existing content
standards in those disciplines.
2. Informational Text

Alignment
Grade

4th

8th
12th
45%

55%
70%
This does not mean that 70% of 12th
grade ELA is informational, but that
across all subject areas the ratio is
70%.
3. Text Complexity

Reading standards place equal emphasis
on the sophistication of what students
read and the skill with which they read.

3 Dimensions
Text Complexity
Qualitative evaluation of the text
• Levels of meaning, structure,
language conventionality & clarity
knowledge demands
Quantitative evaluation of the text
• Readability measures and other
scores of text complexity
Matching reader to text and
task
• Reader variables (such as
motivation, knowledge,
and experiences)
• task variables (such as
purpose and the
complexity generated by
the task assigned and the
questions posed
4. Writing Arguments

The Standards cultivate three
mutually reinforcing writing
capacities:
-to persuade
-to explain
-to convey real
or imagined experience
5. Focus on Collaborative Conversations
Speaking and Listening: Participation in Collaborative
Conversations
Grade 5 Example
1. Engage effectively in a range of collaborative
discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led
with diverse partners
1. Come to discussions prepared, having read
or studied required material; explicitly draw
on that preparation and other information
known about the topic to explore ideas
under discussion.
6. Integration of Media Sources
Research and media skills are blended into the standards as a whole.
Reading Standards
for Informational
Text
Integrate information
presented in different
media formats
(visually,
quantitatively) as well
as words to develop a
coherent
understanding of a
topic or issue.
Speaking and
Listening Standards
Writing Standards
Use technology to
produce and publish
writing as well as to
interact and collaborate
with others;
demonstrate sufficient
command of
keyboarding skills to
type a minimum of
three pages in a single
sitting.
Include multimedia
components (graphics,
images, music, sound)
and visual displays in
presentations to clarify
information.
