Rhode Island Core Standards for ELA/Literacy
The Rhode Island Core Standards for English Language Arts (ELA)/Literacy articulate clear, consistent expectations about the knowledge, skills, and practices students should know and be able to do at each grade level.
Rhode Island transitioned to the Rhode Island Core Standards for English Language Arts/Literacy from the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) on March 9, 2021. Cohesive and aligned standards, curriculum, and assessment are critical to increasing student achievement. The Rhode Island Core Standards for ELA/Literacy are tightly aligned to the assessments in the Rhode Island state assessment program, including the RICAS assessment. These standards maintain the focus, coherence, and rigor of the CSS, while providing greater clarity and highlighting connections among the standards.
