5 Essential Components of Literacy


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.
