Reading Standards for Literature K‑5
The following standards offer a focus for instruction each year and help ensure that students gain adequate exposure to a range of texts and tasks.

Students advancing through the grades are expected to meet each year’s grade-specific standards and retain or further develop skills and understandings mastered in preceding grades.
