Our citations for the standards follow the format established by the CCSS (found in the upper right hand corners of the pages in the CCSS ELA document): strand.grade.number. For example, the first Reading Literature (RL) standard in grade four would be cited as: RL.4.1. You will find our citations in the front of each focus standard and at the end of each sample activity/assessment. Where standards clearly corresponded to lessons listed under “additional resources,” standards also have been cited.
