Elementary Reading
Quarterly Content Guides
The Quarterly Content Guides for Reading
and for Writing lay out in quarterly format when
each benchmark should be initially instructed
(I). This can provide you with a general and
overall view of the year. It is important to note
that the benchmarks you see on these guides are
initial instruction (I) only. For example, if you
see cause and effect in quarter two, that means that
the instruction is delivered in quarter two. This
document just really allows you to look at all four
quarters and see when the instruction of a skill
actually takes place. Again, the skills you see on
this document are when the instruction is directly
delivered to the students.
Instructional Maps
A Reading Instructional Map and a Writing
Instructional Map for each grade level shows ALL the
benchmarks and how each benchmark is covered in each
of the four quarters: Is it at an awareness level?
Is it initially instructed? Or is reviewed? From
this document you can see every benchmark and the
progression of each benchmark from quarter one to
quarter two to quarter three and to quarter four.
For example, take cause and effect again, if you
want to see what cause and effect looks like across
the entire year, this document would help you. You
could, at a glance, see what is done for cause and
effect each quarter, in terms of providing an
awareness, providing direct instruction, or
following through with continuous review.
Academic Plans
Testing Crosswalks
The Stanford-10 Alignment is provided for
Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd
grade. Kindergarten and 1st grade
include Reading benchmarks only, while the 2nd
grade Alignment document includes Writing Process
benchmarks in terms of grammar and the writing
process. The Stanford-10 Alignment is designed to
align the benchmarks of the Sunshine State Standards
with the skills and content tested on the SAT-10.
The benchmarks that are included in the SAT-10
Alignment have SAT-10 listed in the Assessment
column on the individual academic plans.
The timeline for the revision
of the FCAT is that it will be field tested in
2008-2009 and then the official revised test will be
2009-2010. That still leaves the 2007-2008 school
year with many teacher asking Which Standards do we
teach?. A crosswalk between the old and new
standards has been developed to assist teachers in
the transition. The old standards that are tested
on the FCAT have been linked to the new standards
and can be viewed through this FCAT Crosswalk (these
are just the standards that are tested on the FCAT).
