CCR_Anchor Standards for SPEAKING and LISTENING K-12
The
K–5 standards define what students should understand and be able to do
by the end of each grade. They correspond to the College and Career
Readiness (CCR) anchor standards below by number.
The CCR and
grade-specific standards are necessary complements—the former providing
broad standards, the latter providing additional specificity—that
together define the skills and understandings that all students must
demonstrate.
