ELA

  • South Carolina students achieve readiness for college, career, and lifelong learning through the integration of various higher-order thinking and literacy skills. Those skills will be supported by standards, curriculum, instruction, local and state assessments, and by employing inquiry-based learning with texts of varying complexity, encouraging student choice, to inspire creativity, innovation, and problem-solving ability. Knowledge and skills such as these are representative of the expectations of the 2024 SC CCR ELA Standards. 

     

    The 2024 South Carolina College- and Career-Ready ELA Standards were officially approved by the State Board of Education on January 17, 2023. The 2024 South Carolina College- and Career-Ready ELA Standards will be fully operational and assessed in the year 2024-2025.

    For the 2024-2025 school year, schools in South Carolina also adopted new resources for ELA Instruction. Rock Hill Schools have adopted HMH Into Reading as their primary resource for ELA instruction. The HMH Into Reading curriculum is based on research in the essential elements of literacy.
