New York State ELA Curriculum for Grades Pre-K-2
The New York State ELA Curriculum for grades Pre-K-2 is broken into two strands: the Listening and Learning Strand and the Skills Strand.
The Listening and Learning Strand consists of a series of read‐alouds organized by topics (called domains), many of which are informational in nature. The goal of the Listening and Learning Strand is for students to acquire language competence through listening, specifically building a rich vocabulary, and broad knowledge in history and science by being exposed to carefully selected, sequenced, and coherent read‐alouds.
The Skills Strand teaches the mechanics of reading–students are taught systematic and explicit phonics instruction as their primary tool for decoding written English. By the end of grade 2, students have learned all of the sound‐spelling correspondences in the English language and are able to decode written material they encounter. In addition to phonics, students also are taught spelling, grammar, and writing during the Skills Strand.
The two strands are taught separately, but complement each other, building the requisite decoding and comprehension skills that comprise fluent, mature reading. The teaching of the two strands, however, need not be correlated; i.e., educators may provide instruction and practice in a given unit of the skills strand as needed, while moving on to new topics and anthologies in the Listening and Learning Strand.
