ELA and Literacy Connections

•“Advanced literacy across content areas is the best available predictor of students’ ability to succeed in introductory college courses” (Heller and Greenleaf).

• “The twenty-five fastest-growing professions have far greater than average literacy demands, while the fastest-declining professions have lower-than-average literacy demands” (Competitiveness Index: Where America Stands).

ELA Literacy/Literature Split

ELA Panel Recommendation: “The study of literature and language should be emphasized and elevated as an endeavor separate from literacy.”

Literature• Detailed Literature Standards and Performance Indicators related to literature and literary text• Literature as a content area

Literacy • Will include the Standards and Performance Indicators that relate to literacy (for example, phonemic awareness, vocabulary development, comprehension, etc.)
