CCR-Aligned Reading and Writing Processes
By Coach Natalie on September 30, 2014This year, LiteracyTA is focused on building additional support materials for K-5 students and teachers. Lauren Garrison and Katie Krumenacker, two exceptional elementary school teachers at Adobe Bluffs Elementary School in the Poway District, collaborated with LiteracyTA to produce vertically aligned reading and writing processes from Kindergarten to the twelfth grade. Each process is aligned to the College and Career Readiness Standards for reading and writing, providing a blueprint for teachers to deliver what the new national standards are expecting: confident, independent, and adaptable readers and writers.
When students have opportunities to practice a process across all subject areas and throughout a school day, they will begin to adopt the approach and learn how it can help them read and write well.
Here is a list of our reading processes starting with K-1.
K-1 Discover | 2-3 Soar | 4-5 Launch | 6-8 Rising Up and 9-12 Reaching High |

Literacy Standards In Action
We've mapped our literacy lessons and reading, speaking, and writing skills to state standards, Common Core, and NGSS. The standards are "the what" to teach. Our lessons are "the how" to meet the expectations defined by the standards. Click on the links below to view our quick reference table that maps standards to literacy lessons.
