21st Century Learning Language Arts StandardKindergarten
Kindergarten students are engaged in print-rich learning experiences to develop an awareness and
understanding of spoken and written language. This awareness is explored through reading, writing, listening,
speaking, and media literacy that will develop lifelong learning skills. Students are introduced to a variety of
visual and literary forms, including cross-cultural works of literature and informational text. Appropriate
language experiences, shared and guided reading opportunities, and exposure to 21st century skills, coupledwith active student participation, will support the acquisition of skills in the language arts.
1. Concepts About Print
LA0.1.1 Demonstrates an understanding of print concepts (required: book conventions - front cover, backcover, title page; directional movement - left to right and top to bottom; distinguishing between
letters and words; one-to-one correspondence between words read aloud and printed text;
correct way to hold and open a book).
LA0.1.2 Distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet.
2. Phonemic Awareness
LA0.2.1 Generates rhyming words (for example: What rhymes with hat?).
LA0.2.2 Generates words that begin with the same initial or final sound.
LA0.2.3 Segments and blends phonemes to form one-syllable words (required: /m/.../a/.../n/, onset /c/ andrime /at/).
3. Reading Fluency
LA0.3.1 Reads upper- and lowercase letters in sequence and in random order with automaticity.
LA0.3.2 Reads common sight words in isolation/lists and in context with automaticity (required: 1-20 onFry Word List).
4. Word Analysis and Vocabulary
LA0.4.1 Produces all letter sounds represented by single consonants.
LA0.4.2 Determines what words mean from context clues in a sentence or simple story.
5. Strategies to Guide and Monitor Comprehension
LA0.5.1 Makes predictions based on illustrations, titles, or portions of text (for example: preview picturebooks and discuss titles in order to make predictions before reading).LA0.5.2 Derives meaning from highly predictable or patterned texts.
LA0.5.3 Creates visual images that represent something that was read in a story (read aloud and/or during
shared reading).
6. Main Idea and Supporting Details
LA0.6.1 Describes topics of texts read or heard (required: nonfiction text).
LA0.6.2 Retells basic facts or details relevant to the text.
7. Textual Relationships
LA0.7.1 Describes basic story elements (required: setting, characters, events).
LA0.7.2 Sequences a simple series of events (required: beginning, middle, end; first, last).
LA0.7.3 Follows a sequence of two- or three-step directions (for example: center directions, classroom procedures, science experiments, recipes) using picture cues.LA0.7.4 Describes patterns in text (for example: predictable text, chronological order).
8. Text Structures, Elements, and Techniques
LA0.8.1 Makes connections between texts (required: poems, fairy tales, stories, informational texts,cross-cultural works of literature, electronic text/media, pictures) and people in own life andother cultures
(for example: characters, events).LA0.8.2 Describes common signs, symbols, labels, and captions in the environment.
LA0.8.3 Describes/models rhyme and rhythm in poetry.
LA0.8.4 Explains how authors use text features (for example: pictures/illustrations, icons) to enhanceunderstanding of key ideas.
LA0.8.5 Describes what authors and illustrators do, and distinguishes between the two in a variety of
texts.
9. Research
LA0.9.1 Restates accurate facts after listening to expository text.
LA0.9.2 Asks and answers questions about the content of text.
10. Writing Process
LA0.10.1 Generates original ideas for writing through group discussion and brainstorming.
LA0.10.2 Describes familiar topics and ideas by drawing, telling, or writing for a purpose.
11. Writing Style
LA0.11.1 Uses words, labels, or short phrases that match or enhance picture text (Word Choice).
LA0.11.2 Writes in simple sentences (some may be fragmented) (Sentence Fluency).
12. Writing Applications and Formats
LA0.12.1 Creates lists, notes or messages using short phrases or simple sentences (Ideas/Content &Sentence Fluency).LA0.12.2 Participates in the construction of class reports
(for example: observations in a scienceexperiment) through text or pictures (Ideas/Content & Word Choice).LA0.12.3 Describes a personal experience, object, or person through pictures and/or text
(Ideas/Content &Word Choice).
13. Language Conventions
LA0.13.1 Writes upper- and lowercase manuscript letters of the alphabet.
LA0.13.2 Uses capital letters to begin names of people or places, although may be inconsistent or
experimental.
LA0.13.3 Uses punctuation (required: period, exclamation point), although may be inconsistent orexperimental.
LA0.13.4 Uses knowledge of letter-sound relationship to spell simple words with some consonants and
few vowels.
14. Interactive Communication: Visual and Writing Applications
LA0.14.1 Creates visual representations of personal experiences using a variety of media (for example:visual arts, drama, electronic tools).
15. Interactive Communication: Speaking and Listening Applications
LA0.15.1 Follows the rules of conversation and discussion (required: attends to speaker, uses bodylanguage and facial expression to show interest, takes turns).
LA0.15.2 Makes relevant contributions in class (for example: shares ideas, information, opinions,questions).
LA0.15.3 Makes a simple oral presentation to an audience (for example: tells a personal experience,shares information, presents personal work) using a prop or other appropriate material.

21st Century Learning Mathematics Standard Kindergarten The kindergarten math program emphasizes the use of manipulatives, concrete materials, and appropriate tools so that students explore and develop concepts and ideas fundamental to the study of mathematics: number, counting, comparing, classifying, patterning, measuring, shape, size, position, data collection, and problem solving. Students sort objects and use one or more attributes to solve problems. They identify, duplicate, and extend simple number patterns as preparation for creating rules that describe relationships, or they might collect data and use counting to answer such questions as, “What is our favorite snack?” Emphasis mathematics. 1. NUMBER SYSTEMS pictures, numerals, number lines). M0.1.2 Counts by 2’s to 12, 5’s, and 10’s to 100. right order).M0.1.4 Compares ordinal numbers through the fifth position standing in a line). 2. NUMERICAL RELATIONSHIPS M0.2.1 Expresses numbers up to 20 as one more/one less from a given number. of 10 or fewer items using greater than, less than, or equal to). 3. ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION M0.3.1 Models addition of whole numbers through sums of 10 using pictures, symbols, or objects. M0.3.2 Models subtraction of whole numbers with minuends of 10 using pictures, symbols, or objects. M0.3.3 Estimates quantities to 20 using 5 and 10 as benchmarks. 4. MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION Not assessed at this level. 5. HIGHER ORDER OPERATIONS Not assessed at this level. 6. PATTERNS repeating - ; growing – building snap cube towers that have 2 cubes, then 4 cubes, then 6 cubes, etc. to demonstrate adding two over and over). 7. ALGEBRAIC CONCEPTS M0.7.1 Constructs equivalent forms of whole numbers to 10 using manipulatives/objects or numbers (for example: ÄÄ+ÄÄÄ=Ä+ÄÄÄÄ). 8. GEOMETRIC PROPERTIES AND FIGURES M0.8.1 Draws two-dimensional shapes (required: circles, triangles, rectangles/squares). shape, number of sides). M0.8.3 Compares two-dimensional (circles, triangles, rectangles/squares) and three-dimensional shapes in different orientations and environments (for example: nature, buildings, classroom). example: above, below; near, far). 9.
