Knowledge and Skills Statement

Multiple genres: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts--genres. The student recognizes and analyzes genre-specific characteristics, structures, and purposes within and across increasingly complex traditional, contemporary, classical, and diverse texts.
Although common elements can be found across genres, it is important for students to be taught the characteristics, structures, and purposes specific to a particular genre so they are better able to engage with and draw meaning from these texts. For example, students should know that when they read a literary text, the language can be highly figurative, so they need to make inferences to determine the implied meanings of the words. If students do not understand this characteristic of literature, they will likely be unable to determine the author’s purpose or message because they may be reading the words only for their literal meaning.
text that is widely acknowledged for its outstanding and enduring qualities
a text that is set near the present time, typically post-World War II
texts that represent regional, economic, social, and ethnic differences through subject matter and/or characters
the form, format, elements, and techniques typically used within a particular genre
As students become more proficient readers, the texts they engage with and draw meaning from should become more complex in structure, language, and/or content. Within and across grade levels, students are expected to be exposed to challenging texts that allow them the opportunity to practice and master new skills.
