Language Arts - Grade 1

Language Arts

The Terra Nova Complete Battery for Reading/Language Arts "reflects current instructional practices. The skills essential for effective communication - - reading comprehension, language, vocabulary, and study skills - - are integrated into one test to provide a coherent assessment experience.

To help student succeed, the directions, passages, and test questions are linked by themes that provide context and stimulate interest. The arrangement of test questions leads to a deepening engagement with the material, much like the process a thoughtful teacher uses in exploring text with students.

The test reflects the diverse cultures and ethnic backgrounds and experiences of contemporary students, with the goal of providing equity in assessing achievement. It involves the students in constructing meaning, monitoring their own comprehension strategies, and thinking critically and creatively in response to texts." The Tennessee English Language Arts Curriculum Framework for Kindergarten through Grade 12 was adopted by the State Board of Education on December 5, 1996. "The framework includes the Content Strands and Learning Expectations necessary to insure K-12 Tennessee students develop the language skills needed to succeed in school, in the workplace, and in their lives." As a response to the concerns of the business and college communities, the TCAP Writing Assessment was developed. The Assessment measures strengths and weaknesses in the are of writing and provides a basis for developing instructional strategies to improve writing.

Grade 1

The Terra Nova Complete Battery assesses students in first grade (Level 11). The Terra Nova Plus assesses students in first grade (Level 11). The Tennessee English Language Arts Curriculum Framework identifies the learning expectations for Grades K-2. The TCAP Writing Assessment is given to students in Grade 4.
