Junior High English
The California English Language Arts (ELA) standards for junior high (grades 7-8) focus on developing students' abilities in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language use. These standards emphasize critical thinking, close reading of complex texts, effective communication, and understanding of language conventions. Specific areas include: reading literature and informational texts, writing different text types, language conventions, and speaking and listening skills.
The California ELA standards aim to equip students with the literacy skills they need for success in high school, college, and careers. They emphasize critical thinking, close reading, effective communication, and a strong foundation in language conventions.
