One or more categories or sub-strands of standards are listed under each strand. For example, the Reading and Literature strand includes the sub-strands of Word Recognition, Analysis and Fluency, Vocabulary Expansion, Comprehension and Literature. Each standard begins with the phrase, “The student will ” and is followed by several benchmarks that describe the specific knowledge or skills that students should acquire by the end of that grade level. The strands are identified by Roman numerals (I, II, III) and the sub-strands by upper case letters (A, B, C, etc.). The standards are noted by the word “Standard” and are followed by a list of benchmarks identified by ordinal numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.). The example illustrates the relationship between a strand, sub-strand, standard and benchmarks. 2 G R A D E 7-8 Example KINDERGARTEN Strand I.
