Description

In the second half of our Common Core mini-series, we’re turning our attention to ELA. Reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language all show up in the standards, but what do they actually expect of your child? In this episode, we’ll break down how Common Core ELA is organized, how to interpret the standards across grade levels, and how to use them to guide your homeschool reading and writing instruction. Whether you’re choosing a curriculum or building your own, this episode will help you teach ELA with more clarity and confidence.
