About the Common Core State Standards

Student learning in Massachusetts is based on a set of standards known as the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. These standards describe what students are expected to know. The skills listed in the frameworks are based on the Common Core State Standards. They incorporate all the Common Core standards, as well as one or two additional skills. The English Language Arts standards are divided into the following areas: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language.

This book focuses specifically on developing and applying the Language standards. However, this also overlaps with all other areas, as language skills are essential for effective reading comprehension, speaking, listening, and writing.
