[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] And I'm guessing, but I don't know for sure, that kids in Virginia are expected to be reading at the end of kindergarten, and Virginia did not adopt the Common Core standards.[/quote]

You are correct, VA did not adopt Common Core standards; here is a link to VA language arts standards for grade K

http://www.doe.virginia.gov/testing/sol/standards_docs/english/2010/stds_englishk.pdf

The standards are pretty ambitious and mirror common core standards in many ways, but [b]there is no standard that says students will be able to read emergent level text[/b].  That said, I believe individual school districts set their own benchmarks as to what is expected by the end of K.[/quote]

Although there is "Read his/her name and read fifteen meaningful, concrete words."

(Where oh where are the people who scoff at the Common Core standards on grounds of their unmeasurable vagueness? They could be exercising their scoffing muscles on this standard. "Meaningful? Concrete? Ha! That could mean anything! My professor would have given me an F for this! Abolish the Common Core!....no, wait")[/quote]
