Is that how they did it? College professors want students to be able to write papers, so therefore[b] kindergarteners must be able to follow words from left to right, top to bottom, and page by page? [/quote]

Yeah, right.  Go read the K standards--a little more than that.
I read that is how they were developed.  When you look at the bios of the people on the committees, there is no reason to think otherwise.[/quote]

Here are ALL of the standards for Reading: Foundational Skills for kindergarten. I really find it very, very difficult to imagine that anybody could work backwards from college papers to kindergarten reading, even if they were foolish enough to want to.

Follow words from left to right, top to bottom, and page by page.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.1.b
Recognize that spoken words are represented in written language by specific sequences of letters.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.1.c
Understand that words are separated by spaces in print.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.1.d
Recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters of the alphabet.

Add or substitute individual sounds (phonemes) in simple, one-syllable words to make new words.

Associate the long and short sounds with the common spellings (graphemes) for the five major vowels.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3.c
