Description: 
The Alabama Course of Study: English Language Arts defines what modern learners should know and be able to accomplish after each grade level or course and upon graduation from high school so that they become literate citizens who can enjoy the benefits and meet the responsibilities of citizenship. The standards fully support early literacy foundations by defining literacy, fostering an appreciation for literature, encompassing diversity of literature, incorporating digital literacy, and integrating literacy into all content areas. Assessing literacy and providing professional learning for elementary educators, as required in the Alabama Literacy Act, are important supports for the implementation of standards. This intense focus on reading and writing enhances the acquisition and development of knowledge in all subject areas, thus creating well-rounded readers who are fluent with varied types and complexities of texts. The standards encourage a broad view of literacy that promotes knowledge-building across categories and subjects, making integration of content and collaboration among educators much easier to achieve. All standards contained in this document are: ● written in a clear, understandable, and consistent format to be relatable and applicable to learners’ lives; ● organized in ways that are appropriate for their particular grade band; ● designed to include rigorous, focused, and critical content and application of knowledge through high-order skills; ● grounded on sound, evidence-based research; and ● designed to ensure that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society.
