Let’s begin exploring the organization of the standards. <br />
The ELA standards are organized into three main sections. <br />
• A comprehensive K‐5 section; History/Social Studies & Science and <br />
Technical Subjects are embedded in these standards since <br />
instruction is typically provided by one teacher. <br />
• Two content‐area specific sections for grades 6‐12 <br />
• English Language Arts <br />
• History/Social Studies & Science and Technical Subjects (this <br />
will be explained in more detail later) <br />
There are four strands in the Common Core State Standards (the “strands” <br />
are called “domains” in the current CA standards): <br />
• Reading <br />
• Writing <br />
• Speaking and Listening (K‐12 ELA only – not included in the <br />
History/Social Studies & Science and Technical Subjects section) <br />
• Language: this strand includes conventions and vocabulary. (K‐12 <br />
ELA only – not included in the History/Social Studies & Science and <br />
Technical Subjects section) <br />
