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.

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 Curriculum Notes translation 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.
Skills covered
Vertical alignment planning — teachers compare the exact standard wording across grades 6 through 11-12 to see how a skill, such as citing textual evidence, builds year over year.
Standards translation — the Curriculum Notes restate each official Common Core standard in plain language for lesson-planning use.
Cross-strand curriculum mapping — the document organizes standards across all five ELA strands into a single grade-by-grade reference.
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 a Curriculum Notes section underneath restates the shift in plain language.
