C.A. GLE's

Communication Arts Grade Level Expectations

The Communication Arts Grade Level Expectations document is an updated version of the March, 2004 K-12 Communication Arts
Grade Level Expectations. Missouri educators from across the state, representing education from the primary grades through the
college level, met numerous times to carefully examine the current Grade Level Expectations and make suggestions to update that
document. This is the result of their discussion and study.

Please note:
 In several instances, the difference is a change in location, rather than a change in the GLE itself.
 All Communication Arts content may be assessed at the grade level where it appears.
 Teachers are responsible for content up to—and including—that which appears at the grade level they teach. This document
represents a continuum of instruction, so teachers must be familiar with GLEs leading up to their grade level so that they may
scaffold instruction for students missing requisite skills.
 The GLE Update and Review Committees addressed only Reading and Writing.

An asterisk (*) is used to indicate GLEs that are locally assessed.

PLEASE NOTE: The Information Literacy strand will be revised during the 2008-2009 school year. The existing
version is included at the end of this document and includes grades K-12. While the Information Literacy GLEs are
under revision, teachers are responsible for the content in the existing version.
