Curriculum reference — Ontario: Correct the misleading Common or Abstract title; concrete and abstract are the actual contrast. Abstract nouns are explicitly named in Ontario Grade2 grammar. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
