Common Core State Standards: Reading Standards Learning Goal: Students will understand that text has meaning and be able to use strategies to construct meaning. Common Core Standards Literacy Routine STANDARD - The following standards offer a focus for instruction each year and help ensure that students gain adequate exposure to a range of texts and tasks. Rigor is also infused through the requirement that students read increasingly complex texts through the grades. Students advancing through the grades are expected to meet each year s grade-specific standards and retain or further develop skills and understandings mastered in preceding grades. Text Attributes: - Students must read widely and deeply from among a broad range of high-quality, increasingly challenging texts including stories, dramas, poems, and myths from diverse cultures and different time periods. By reading texts in history/social studies, science, and other disciplines, students build a foundation of knowledge in these fields. Students also acquire the habits of reading independently and closely which are essential to their future.

These foundational skills are not an end in and of themselves; rather, they are necessary and important components of an effective, comprehensive reading program designed to develop proficient readers with the capacity to comprehend texts across a range of types and disciplines. Instruction should be differentiated: good readers will need much less practice with these concepts than struggling readers will. The point is to teach students what they need to learn and not what they already know to discern when particular children or activities warrant more or less attention. Note: In kindergarten, children are expected to demonstrate increasing awareness and competence in the areas that follow.

Each year in their writing, students should demonstrate increasing sophistication in all aspects of language use, from vocabulary and syntax to the development and organization of ideas, and they should address increasingly demanding content and sources. Students advancing through the grades are expected to meet each year s grade-specific standards and retain or further develop skills and understandings mastered in preceding grades. The expected growth in student writing ability is reflected both in the standards themselves and in the collection of annotated student writing samples in Appendix C of the CCSS. Text Attributes: Students need to learn to use writing as a way of offering and supporting opinions, demonstrating understanding of the subjects they are studying, and conveying real and imagined experiences and events. They learn that a key purpose of writing is to communicate clearly. They develop the capacity to build knowledge on a subject through research projects and to respond analytically to literary and informational sources.

Text Attributes Students must have ample opportunities to take part in a variety of rich, structured conversations as part of a whole class, in small groups, and with a partner. These conversations require that students contribute accurate, relevant information; respond to and develop what others have said; make
