With the implementation of Common Core Standards, the number of standards that are taught at each grade level has decreased; however, our expectation for what each student understands at a deep and rigorous level has increased substantially. As one carefully looks at the common core standards in English/Language Arts or Math, one notices that the standards build in complexity with each grade level. For example, in the ELA standard Reading Informational Text, the standard of understanding the details in an informational piece of text (non-fiction) builds from asking and answering key details with support to quoting the text and drawing inferences to have defended a belief about what was read.
Kindergarten: RI.K.1:
- With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.
First grade: RI.1.1:
- Ask and answer key details in a text.
Second Grade: RI.2.1:
- Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.
Third Grade: RI.3.1:
- Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as a basis for the answers.
Fourth Grade: RI.4.1:
- Refer to details and examples in the text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
Fifth Grade: RI.5.1:
- Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
The structure of alignment in standards from one grade level to the next occurs throughout the English/Language Arts and Mathematics Common Core Standards and gives all teachers a better understanding of the building blocks and skills needed in each grade level.
