These standards provide content specific (Science, Social Studies, Math, and Language Arts) standards that support language development in the core content classes based on the Key Language Uses:  narrate, argue, inform, and explain.  They are organized by grade clusters.  The table of content is very helpful in finding the grade cluster you are interested in viewing.
