Reading- this component of ELA standards includes the
ability to read texts, comprehend what is being read, and make connections to
the text according to the appropriate grade level. The language arts teacher is
primarily responsible for teaching phonics skills and working with fluency and
accuracy in reading as well as comprehension skills. However, teachers of all
disciplines should incorporate reading assignments and should work with
students to make connections between the text and the material learned and
encourage fluency, accuracy and comprehension.
Writing- this component of ELA standards requires that
students learn the skills to effectively write texts of different forms. The
main goal of this standard is to have students be able to analyze a text or a
subject matter and write a paper accordingly. This standard is one which is the
responsibility of teachers of all disciplines to share. In every subject,
students can be given connected reading material and be assigned writing based
on the texts or on the material learned in the classroom.
Speaking- students need to learn how to properly speak
fluently, in proper English. Students should learn skills for speaking in
public which is something they may need in real life. This standard can be
practiced in classes of all subjects.
Listening- students need to be able to listen to spoken
English, follow what is being said, understand the content and be able to
analyze, ask or answer questions on the spoken material. This standard is
naturally a part of every class, and should be recognized as a standard by the
teacher in order to strengthen the skill.
Language- this standard accounts for the effective use of
the English language, its proper grammer, pronunciation, stress and vocabulary.
The grammer aspect of this standard would primarily be implemented by the ELA
instructor, but the vocabulary aspect should be included in instruction of all
subjects.
