Take the Mystery out of the Common Core!

Introducing the Annotated Common Core Standards for Grade 4 ELA!

Are you confused or overwhelmed by the Common Core Standards for English Language Arts? You’re not alone. I have taken some time to annotate (explain, simplify) the Common Core standards for English Language Arts Grade 4. These documents are designed to you feel, well…not so overwhelmed, or lost, or alone! Some of the standards were already pretty self-explanatory so I left those alone, but wherever you see the arrow is where I have tried to explain or articulate the expectation(s) of the standard. If you find something particularly confusing, please message me and I will be happy to explain or articulate better, or add an explanation where there was none. Hope it helps…please be sure to leave feedback–I would love to hear your thoughts!
