Reflection on Common Core Reading Standards for ELA/Literacy

After reading the Common Core Reading Standards for ELA/Literacy and the reasons behind them, I can only agree on the importance of these rules. As with all areas of education, it is important for teachers to instruct their students based on evidence supported material. Additionally, creating a uniform standard for literacy skills throughout the nation is invariably important to ensure the success of the next generation.  These standards address all areas of literature and writing providing each student with a well-rounded education. If teachers implement these standards they will produce students who are competent readers, writers, and communicators. In today’s day in age especially where there are a lot students whose first language is not English, these standards are imperative. When teachers incorporate effective teaching tools and technology while teaching English as a second language, they are sure to be successful.
