Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts - 3rd and 4th Grade

The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts provide a comprehensive framework for the development of literacy skills for 3rd and 4th grade students.

The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts (ELA) provide a framework for what students should know and be able to do in language and literacy by the end of each grade level.

Language Standard L.1 is an essential component of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts. This standard is designed to address the use of standard English grammar and usage, as well as the conventions of capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. We will discuss how Language Standard L.1 is introduced in the 3rd grade and then further developed in the 4th grade.

The 3rd Grade Language Standard L.1 (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.3.1)

In the 3rd grade, Language Standard L.1 focuses on building the foundation for the proper use of standard English grammar and usage. The standard requires students to demonstrate an understanding of subject-verb agreement, pronoun usage, and verb tenses. Students should be able to ensure that their writing has proper verb tense consistency.

By the end of third grade, students should be able to identify and use various types of nouns (e.g. common, proper, possessive), pronouns (e.g. personal, possessive, reflexive), verbs (e.g. action, linking, helping), adjectives, and adverbs. They are expected to use regular and irregular plural nouns, adjectives, and adverbs correctly, and to use coordinating and subordinating conjunctions to form complex sentences. They should also be able to recognize and correct grammatical errors in their own writing and in the writing of others.

The 4th Grade Language Standard L.1 (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.4.1)

In the 4th grade, Language Standard L.1 builds on the foundation established in the 3rd grade. Students are expected to further develop their understanding of subject-verb agreement, pronoun usage, and verb tenses. They should be able to use modal auxiliaries (e.g. can, may, must) to convey various degrees of meaning, and demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage.

Furthermore, students must also show proficiency in the use of capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. They should be able to use correct capitalization in proper nouns, recognize and use end punctuation, commas, and quotation marks correctly, and spell words correctly.

How Does 3rd Grade Prepare Students for 4th Grade English Language Arts?

The Language Standard L.1 in the 3rd grade sets a foundation for students to build upon in the 4th grade. Students in the 3rd grade learn the basics of grammar and usage, such as subject-verb agreement and pronoun usage. They also learn to identify and use different parts of speech, including common and proper nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs.

In the 4th grade, students are expected to demonstrate more complex skills in grammar and usage. They learn about modal auxiliaries, perfect verb tenses, and advanced pronoun usage. Additionally, students in the 4th grade are expected to demonstrate mastery of capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. Access Workybooks  practice worksheets here.

For example, let us look at the following sheets-

In 3rd grade, students focus on Language Standard L.1.a of the CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.3.1, which requires them to identify and correctly use adjectives. This includes being able to identify adjectives in sentences, and to use them to describe and compare nouns. Students learn to recognize that adjectives modify nouns by providing information about their size, color, shape, texture, and other characteristics.

You can practice these worksheets here.

Building on this foundation, in 4th grade students move on to Language Standard L.1.d of the CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.4.1, which requires them to correctly order adjectives within sentences. This includes understanding that adjectives must appear in a specific order before the noun they are modifying, and that changing the order of adjectives can alter the meaning of the sentence.

For more on grammar tips, you can read our other  blog. 

Workybooks Practice Worksheets for Language Standard L.1 in CCSS ELA

There are several areas where students may struggle or need additional practice worksheets in Language Standard L.1 of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. You can practice these sheets here:

Subject-Verb Agreement: Students may struggle to ensure that the subject and verb in a sentence agree in number and person. For example, they may write "The dogs barks" instead of "The dogs bark" or "He like pizza" instead of "He likes pizza."

Pronoun Usage: Students may struggle with pronoun usage, including recognizing and correcting inappropriate shifts in pronoun number and person. For example, they may write "Me and my friend went to the store" instead of "My friend and I went to the store."

Verb Tenses: Students may have difficulty maintaining proper verb tense consistency in their writing. For example, they may write "I had a great time at the party, and now I eat pizza" instead of "I had a great time at the party, and now I am eating pizza."

Capitalization: Students may struggle with using correct capitalization, particularly in proper nouns. For example, they may write "i went to new york city" instead of "I went to New York City."

Punctuation: Students may struggle with using correct punctuation, including end punctuation, commas, and quotation marks. For example, they may write "He said, I like pizza" instead of "He said, 'I like pizza.'"

Spelling: Students may need practice with spelling, including recognizing and correcting commonly misspelled words and using spelling rules to spell unfamiliar words.

To address these areas of struggle, teachers can provide targeted instruction and practice activities that focus on specific aspects of Language Standard L.1. This may include providing explicit instruction on grammar and usage rules, modeling correct usage in writing and speaking, and providing more opportunities for students to practice using these skills in context. 

Furthermore, Learn.workbooks.com offers a variety of practice worksheetsfor Language Standard L.1 of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts. Our interactive worksheets 'workysheets' are designed to help students improve their grammar, usage, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling skills, which are essential for effective communication in both written and spoken forms. 

There are many interactive online and printable black and white practice worksheets available for Language Standard L.1 of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts. These worksheets are designed to be engaging and effective tools for students to practice their language skills. Interactive online worksheets can provide immediate feedback to students, making it easier for them to identify and correct grammatical errors. 

With a wide range of activities and exercises, students can engage in meaningful practice that will help them develop a strong foundation in language arts.

More HTDIO x H*R quotes

(My second set of Homestar Runner dialogue reassigned to How to Dance in Ohio characters. Because what's the point of having a small following on niche fandom Tumblr if you can't make even-more-niche crossover content?)

Mel: [home alone in full ADHD task paralysis] Aw, we need to figure out how to get some drinks. Like, without having to actually get some drinks.

[a flashback of Johanna recounting the moment she first thought that maybe her daughter should be assessed] Caroline (age 5): Oh, man. Those first four hundred bites of dirt were not so good. Maybe the next one will be better.

Tommy: Oh, that is IT, satellite phone. You’ve poked me for the last time. [chucks phone into ocean]

Marideth: Boy, did I pick the wrong hemisphere to aimlessly drift through this year.

Michael: Have you been using the Internet irresponsibly? Marideth: Er…no more irresponsibly than usual.

Some Sect Leader Jiang Yanli stuff that I started writing then lost interest in

Wei Wuxian dies first.

Her husband returns to her in bloodied golden robes with apologies spilling from his mouth. I didn’t know, he promises. A-Li, I will look into this, but I swear, I didn’t know. She doesn’t learn what he was apologizing for until later, when Jin Guangshan leads a toast to the death of her brother while he cradles her son in his arms.

Jiang Yanli screams so loudly, she swears she tastes blood.

She can hear Jiang Cheng yelling, the clamor of the others invited to the celebration over the death of their feared Yiling Patriarch, and the cries of a baby.

Jin Ling is crying--her son is crying--but Jiang Yanli can’t move because they killed her little brother. They killed a-Xian, and they are toasting in victory, right in front of her. They killed one of her son’s uncles and are congratulating each other at his one month celebration. There are gentle hands on her shoulders, guiding her out of the room while she cries, and her husband is softly soothing her in his awkward way. She feels comfort until she remembers:

He knew.

Jin Zixuan knew that Wei Wuxian was killed. He came to her in blood stained robes, she remembers. She had been worried, but he comforted her then, too. He didn’t tell her. Why wouldn’t he tell her? He knew that she loved her brothers more than nearly anything, and he was the one who promised that Wei Wuxian would be invited. Did the blood on those robes as he embraced her belong to her brother? Did she invite the killer of her brother to comfort her? To hold her son and smile while the blood of her brother stained his blanket?

She twists in his hold, wrenching herself away from him and staring at his robes, his hands. Looking for any sign of her brother’s blood.

“A-Li, please, calm down.”

“Did you kill Wei Wuxian?” she asks, her voice thin and her glare full of tears. “Are you the one who killed my brother, Jin Zixuan? Then dared to come to me with his blood staining your hands?”

He stares at her in shock, hands reaching out towards her, and Jiang Yanli's eyes are drawn to his hands, to his nails, looking for signs of blood. There are not any visible signs, but that doesn’t mean anything. Not anymore.

“Jin Zixuan!” she snaps, the rage curled in her chest raising a burning trail to her sternum and coiling on her tongue. “What happened to Wei Wuxian?”

Her husband cradles her in his arms, as though she needs coddling. As though her brother isn’t dead at the hands of his family

“A-Li, please, I swear I didn’t know this was going to happen!”

“Why didn’t you tell me!” she shouts. “Don’t lie! You can't keep lying to me!”

Jiang Cheng finds her two days later, locked away in her rooms, calling for Wei Wuxian in as much mourning white she could scrounge up, and he screams over her cries. It is the first time either of her brothers ever raises their voices to her, and it shocks her enough that she stops and lets him hold her. He promises that he will get justice for their brother while scolding her in the same breath. 

He truly is mother’s son, she thinks, both fond and sad.

Her a-Cheng who shows his love in caustic reprimands and heated glares. It wasn’t a new experience for her, though it was a first from him. Her a-Cheng coddled her like she was the younger of the two while still heaping upon her praise and loyalty. Her a-Cheng, who hugs her tight and cries like they did when Lotus Pier burned. She wails even louder, both in her grief and to protect her brother in his, as his silent tears become hitching sobs that catch in his throat with each ragged breath.

It is the last time either of her brothers will ever get the chance to hold her for a very long time.

She tightens her grip on her brother, her last remaining brother, and whispers that he has to come back. That they took a-Xian, and now, they were the only two left. As he unsheathes Sandu, he promises that they will return to Lotus Pier--her, him, a-Ling, and a-Xian’s remains. She clings to his hand for as long as she can, and he presses Zidian to her, the familiar sparks raising her hair on edge as it twines its way around her wrist. 

“Stay safe,” he orders, stern and worried. “I’ll return for you and a-Ling once I have this all settled.”

The next time she sees Jiang Cheng, he is pale and cold. His eyes are open and unseeing, and Jiang Yanli wishes that she too was blind. His body is bloated in death and blood stains his face. She washes the body in silence, her tears mixing with the water.

She hasn’t been allowed to see her son in weeks.

The whispers reach even her isolated section of the family’s chambers, and she knows that a-Cheng did his best. He demanded retribution for the unjust slaughter of their brother, and when denied by Jin Guangshan, he followed the rumors and killed Jin Zixun and maimed Jin Guangyao himself. They murdered him for exacting justice for his family.

Her husband has not come to see her since she threw a full cup of tea at him when he told her that her brother was rebelling. Nothing but a mouthpiece for his father’s lies; oh, how the man she loves has fallen. She remembers a time when he held her close in their chambers and whispered that he did not wish to be like his father. And mayhaps he has no concubines, nor does he pay patronage to the whores in Lanling, but he is a coward like his father. His father hid during the war, and now her husband hides from his family’s crimes against her own. 

She wants to see her son.

She asks after him to the servants who come to her chambers, but they remain silent with their eyes downcast. She starts to demand it of them, raising her voice in a way she never has towards anyone, let alone a servant who she knows does not deserve her ire. When that does not work, she screams. At the servants, at the locked doors, out the miniscule window afforded to her, at herself, for her brothers, for her son.

She just wants to see her son.

Finally, there is an answer.

Time-skip Stuff

Wei Wuxan is frantic when he rushes towards them, ignoring the cultivator’s yelling his name in rage and attacking. The resentment weighs heavy in the city, yet swirls around him like the lightest of silks. His eyes burn red, but from a distance, she can’t tell if it was from tears or from his unorthodox ways. She hopes it was his cultivation, and that her a-Xian isn’t crying. He always shows so much in front of those who will use it against him, and she isn’t able to protect him anymore. She had realized when he died that she has not been able to protect him in a very long time.

It is after, when they are safe at home, that she gives in. That the rage she holds towards her brothers and their decisions rushed through her, and she yells until her throat hurts and her voice goes hoarse. Her screams fill Lotus Pier, and a distant part of her thinks that it finally sounded like a home she remembers.

“Why do you insist on using that damned cultivation?” she snaps, flicking her wrist when zidian sparks. “It leads to nothing but trouble! It’s gotten you killed once, and now it’s going to happen again!”

Wei Wuxian narrows his eyes at her, but shifts to avoid her gaze, looking so much like he did when her mother would scold him. Jiang Yanli feels a sliver of guilt. But she smothers it like she had her love for her husband. He is being recalcitrant and childish, and he is going to get them all killed. Lotus Pier will not survive a second siege, and Jiang Yanli has to place her home and people before her brother.

“Wei Wuxian, look at me!” She commands, clenching her fists and forcing Zidian dormant. It takes a while, but he does, meeting her gaze with his own red glare. The evidence of his unorthodox cultivation sends ice down her spine, and she meets his glare with one of her own.

“Well?”

“My cultivation is mine alone, and I don’t see why Sect Leader Jiang is so interested in it,” he says, talking back to her like she was their brother, and suddenly, Jiang Cheng’s anger at Wei Wuxian makes so much sense.

“Because it’s irresponsible! It made them kill you, and then they killed Jiang Cheng! He died for you, defending you! And you spit on his memory by continuing your awful tricks! Do you want to die again, Wei Wuxian? Will you survive the guilt of Lotus Pier falling again when those you anger come to our home?”

He recoils, shock on his face before it hardens into hatred, a familiar look from the Sunshot Campaign.

“I’ll kill them first.”

“Like you killed them last time?” she asks, suddenly tired. “A-Xian, please, just stop. I have Suibian in the vault with Sandu. Won’t you carry both, for a-Cheng?”.

Jiang Yanli looks at her brother in expectation, but again, he refuses to meet her eyes. The fire to fight, however briefly it was lit, has died a cold death in his own eyes, and Jiang Yanli purses her lips. He is hiding something. He is always hiding something. Not even death has changed that, and he still does not trust his sister with his secrets.

“Take them,” she says, voice firm. “They are your responsibility. You owe it to Jiang Cheng to hold and wield Sandu as he once did Suibian for you.”

Wei Wuxian looks at her like she’s offering him a handful of venomous snakes, and Jiang Yanli frowns.

“You will take them, or you will leave Lotus Pier and never return,” she decides, placing the fate of her family in the hands of the one it had crumbled for. “And none from Yunmeng will dare to speak to you for fear of my retaliation.”

Wei Wuxian had never looked at her with such an expression before, but it is a familiar one all the same. The look of a boy accepting a punishment he does not think he deserves. He nods, bows his head to her, and murmurs his response.

“Yes, Sect Leader Jiang.”

This time her title is not said with the mocking lilt, and Jiang Yanli withers away a little more inside.

Wei Wuxian holds both swords, as she had ordered him to, but he does not use them. She has never once seen him unsheathe them in the months he’s had them, but she always thought it was due to her rarely leaving Lotus Pier. She did not go on night hunts, she never really had, even when her sword was her own and not her son’s.

She still is not welcome in any cultivation conferences, though even if she was, she doubts she would attend. The only interactions she has are with the smaller sects around Yunmeng--the Ouyang, the Yao, and the Yu most prominently, though she prefers to deal with them not at all if she could. The rest of the cultivation world has nothing to offer her but derision and hatred, and she has nothing but the same to offer in return.

Jiang Yanli wants to believe that he has forsaken his unnatural cultivation. She desperately wants to believe that her younger martial brother has taken up the sword, like she had all but begged him to do, and that he was cultivating the righteous path once more.

But she knows Wei Wuxian, and she knows his stubbornness.

She sends one of her more discreet disciples—the same one she sends to spy on other sects, who does not wear Jiang purple and keeps her clarity bell hidden away—to shadow her brother. She hopes, for both of their sakes, that Wei Wuxian is not cultivating with resentful energy while wearing Yunmeng Jiang's colors.

Hent*i anatomy: That sure ain’t anime.

Star vs. S4: I’m still on Jarco, but it boils down to how the season is written.

Marco, Don’t Go: Weak-willed, @ido100.

Thanks.

Hands and feets are hard, but I think my Englilsh is fine.

I don’t do Starco children, @darket56.

no.

Now that both of these are confirmed to be happening, I’ll likely stick around and enjoy the friends I made along the way. MLP has done nine seasons, so it going into the sunset is fine. Star better just end right. Gravity Falls has just 2 seasons, but nothing felt lacking, y’know?

Thanks for writing, everyone.

[irregardlessly-tish]

So, in this dream I was studying abroad in the US and after class my classmates and I decided to go to a bakery and who was working there but none other than Benedict Cumberbatch because a famous actor's salary isn't what it used to apparently and Marvel doesn't pay the bills. Anyway, after I ask him what we wanted to get and I pay we have the following conversation...

Him: Your accent is weird. You have a weird English.

Me, suddenly nervous and doubting if I know how to Englilsh: Well... I'm in the US but I'm not from the US...

A classmate behinds me makes a defensive comment, like insinuating Benedict is a racist or something like that.

Him, ignoring my classmate's remark: Yeah, I can tell but it's not a bad English. It's a different accent but I can understand you perfectly.

Me: I just want bread.
