Next Generation ELA Standards

The Next Generation ELA Standards at a Glance provide the progression of standards across grade levels (PK-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12). The New York State Education Department created these documents to support curriculum development and instructional design, as well as to increase stakeholders’ knowledge of the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards. Educators and families can efficiently view the standards that precede and follow a particular grade level. The grade-level introductions are easily accessible via the links at the top of the at a glance pages. Please note that each grade-level introduction includes the range of reading experiences and text complexity expectations for that particular grade. Users are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with these documents prior to reading the Next Generation ELA Standards at a Glance.
