Elementary Language Arts
Welcome to the AISD Elementary Reading and Language Arts website where you will find resources for planning, instruction, assessment, and professional development.
State & Local Standards
The Reading and Language Arts standards were revised by the Texas Education Agency for the 2009-2010 school year. We have augmented them with local AISD standards to make the expectations for student learning clear and consistent. These state and local standards can be viewed on a web-page (see links below) or, if you prefer, vertically aligned versions can be downloaded in a PDF document format.

Recommended Elementary Language Arts Class Schedule
For the 2009-2010 School year, we are recommending an enhanced class schedule available here.
To assist with planning instruction, we provide the Instructional Planning Guides (IPGs) which may be accessed by selecting a grade level (in the menu to the left) or by selecting the link to the upper right (Language Arts IPG Resources). We also provide additional resources under the "Resources" link to the left, including more instructional resources to complement the IPGs (such as the Orchestrating Reading Success modules), TAKS Model Lessons and TAKS-Like focused assessments, news about professional development and literacy events in the Austin area, and links to other web-based resources available for download. We also maintain a Frequently Asked Questions section (FAQ) to help Austin educators get their questions answered as quickly as possible.
If you have any feedback about the content or resources in the Language Arts website, contact Dixie Huckabee by following the "STAFF" link to the left.
