NYS Next Generation Learning Standards
​Please take a look at the following 2 links to investigate the nuanced language of all 4 standards for each grade:
  • PK-2 Next Generation ELA Standards at a Glance
  • 3-5 Next Generation ELA Standards at a Glance
​​ ​Teachers are devoting extra attention to these standards by:
  • explicitly modeling these reading and writing skills and naming out the craft move they are making
  • differentiating instruction through small-group work and tailored one-on-one conferencing
  •  providing extra time for students to practice these reading and writing skills, including in computers, PE, music and science classes
  • giving students ample feedback in a timely manner
  • using read alouds as a powerful vehicle to focus on Reading 1 and 2 and Writing 1 and 2 standards
  • using writing as a tool to strengthen reading comprehension
  • getting students metacognitively thinking about writing by emphasizing the purpose of different types of writing
