The Office of School Improvement in collaboration with educators from the field has developed an exciting new companion document to assist with the Grade Level Content Expectations for English Language Arts (GLCE). The Across the Grades K-8 document provides a look at each GLCE in a matrix format across the grades. This "cross-grade" format allows grade levels to be easily compared with each other. 

You will find three separate matrices; Reading; Writing; and Speaking, Listening, and Viewing. Within each grade band, the expectations have been aligned to show progression of a concept from one grade to the next.  If you have any questions regarding these documents, please contact Ms. Betty Underwood at underwoodb@michigan.gov.

The best way to view the documents is to print them in landscape view and fold in half to assemble in booklet form.
