Product description

From the author

This resource is a Progression of ELA Common Core Standards.

Designed for 6th-12th grade, you will be able to view each ELA standard and how it progresses from one grade level to the next.

Teachers may find this useful as they consider where students should be from the previous grade level and what they will be working towards in the next grade level.

There is a link to an editable version of the document at the end.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Use the bolded text within each grade's standard to spot exactly what changes from the grade below without re-reading the full standard.

  • Read the official CCSS wording alongside the plain-language interpretation beneath it when planning instruction for a grade you haven't taught before.

  • Open the linked Google Docs copy to highlight or annotate specific standards for a department or grade-level planning meeting.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Does the document just list each grade's standard, or also explain what changes between grades?

Both — each standard's chart presents the official wording for grades 6 through 11-12 side by side with the changed wording bolded, and an interpretation row restates the standard in plain language. The Curriculum Notes area is blank for your own planning.
