Description: Literacy is a multi-faceted, complex relationship of interrelated skills, beginning with language development. The standards have been written based on a progression beginning with the skills in the Foundational Literacy standards—print concepts, phonological awareness, phonics and word recognition, word and sentence composition, and fluency. The progression continues to build toward a more sophisticated manipulation of language in the upper grades. This progression of building and reinforcing foundational skills will be critical for the success of Tennessee students as they advance towards mastering post-secondary and workforce expectations. In every grade, the language standards are based on the development of language processing from the word level, to the sentence level, and finally to content knowledge.
