The Standards, known as the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects, are the result of a comprehensive initiative to meet the states' directive to develop new K-12 standards that will prepare students for college and careers with literacy skills by the end of high school.

The Common Core Standards establish several criteria for literacy in history and social studies, science, and technical subjects as well as English language arts (ELA). In the same way that students need to master reading, writing, speaking, listening, and using language proficiently across different subjects, the Standards must also outline the literacy skills needed for success in college and careers in various fields.

This worksheet will provide enough pratcice for your students to familiarise themselves with the Language Arts curriculum. The answers to the activities are included as well at the end of the book.
