Standards-Based K-12 Language Arts Curriculum

"As support for increased accountability in our schools continues to grow, Standards-Based Language Arts Curriculum can help you develop a curriculum that reflects an adherence to performance-based standards at the state and national levels. Grade by grade, the book presents established standards for each language arts "strand"--Reading/literature, speaking/listening, and writing - in an easy-to-follow outline format. Standards and skills are identified for each grade, helping you develop and communicate your own definitions of what is to be expected from students and educators. In addition, "Scope and Sequence" charts and other materials in the Appendix are useful aids in the implementation and assessment of an effective language arts curriculum."--Jacket.
