Reading and Writing

Introduction

The ability to communicate clearly—to read, write, speak, and listen—forms the core of

human culture Reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills are essential tools for

learning, for success in the workplace, for enriching and expanding our lives, and for

responsible citizenship

Language skills are particularly critical in the area of education Through language

abilities, students understand the academic content areas Success in learning

depends on students acquiring solid knowledge and skills in reading, writing,

speak-ing, and listening As with the Colorado Model Content Standards, the proposed

Denver Public Schools standards set high expectations in these areas for all students

Reading and writing have the power to bridge time and place We remain in contact

with people who lived before us through literature and other written records of

human experience We reach toward our future by knowing how to locate, read,

comprehend, and make use of an ever-increasing amount of information

These standards express what each student in Denver should know and be able to

do in order to

• become fluent readers, writers, and speakers;

• communicate effectively, concisely, coherently, and imaginatively;

• recognize the power of language and use that power ethically and

creatively; and

• communicate with ease in an increasingly technological world

Educators, parents, and communities can now focus their attention and energy on creating the conditions under which all students can meet these expectations Therefore, it is the responsibility of the education community to intervene at the earliest point in the student’s formal educational experience where, through careful observation, it becomes apparent that a student is not progressing in a manner that will lead to the meeting of these standards

These standards will lead to the development of literate students who are proficient

in reading, writing, listening, speaking, creativity, problem solving, and researching skills Achievement of these standards gives students the ability to make meaningful connections between life and educational experiences and enables them to enjoy personal success Given the importance of developing literate students, the reading and writing standards cannot be accomplished in isolation Literacy skills must be developed in all content areas Standards that incorporate the academic rigor in these reading and writing standards will help students achieve standards for all content areas and perform at expected levels of proficiency

The primary goal of the Denver Public Schools is to

develop literate students Students in the Denver

Public Schools will learn to read and will be

prepared to participate in society as literate

citizens, equipped with the ability to communicate

effectively in their communities, in the workplace,

and in postsecondary education These reading

and writing standards set forth clear expectations

for student achievement in the areas of reading

and writing and are supported by the district

Elementary and Secondary Literacy Plans The

literacy plans provide a framework which will

support the development of literate students The

literacy plans include these strategies:

students;

includes content and process strategies to

implement effective, necessary reading and

writing instruction for all students;

• supporting schools in acquiring appropriate and

quality materials for all students;

• monitoring the use of appropriate assessments

that measure student achievement in reading

and writing; and

Reading and Writing

In order to meet this standard, students will

1.1 use comprehension strategies such as using prior knowledge; previewing; predicting; inferring; comparing

and contrasting; rereading and self-monitoring; summarizing; identifying the author’s purpose, i.e., reason for

writing; determining the main idea; and applying knowledge of foreshadowing, metaphor, simile, symbolism,

and other identified figures of speech;

1.2 make connections between prior knowledge and what they need to know about a topic before

reading about it;

fitting materials into an organizational pattern, reading a variety of literature chronologically, finding

information to support particular ideas, and finding the sequence of steps in publications including textbooks

and technical articles;

origins, and word order clues; reference guides; roots, prefixes, and suffixes of words for comprehension; and

Rationale The goal for students at all levels is that they know and can use strategies—various ways of unlocking

the meaning of words and larger blocks of text—to become successful life-long readers The strategies are applied in

increasingly difficult reading material at each grade level At all levels, students should be challenged to read

literature and other materials that stimulate their interests and intellectual abilities Reading from a wide variety of
