Language Arts

Arkansas' Learning Standards are defined in the Arkansas Curriculum Frameworks, discipline-based documents which clearly describe what students must know and be able to do in the area of Language Arts at three critical levels: grades 4, 8, and 12. The rigorous academic content standards and the student learning expectations within each document provide the focus for instruction for each local school district, without rigidly prescribing every element of the local curriculum. Student demonstration of the standards and learning expectations within the Arkansas Frameworks is the anchor for the entire education system, with instructional programs, state-level assessments, professional development, school improvement planning, teacher/administrator licensure, and accountability sharing the common goal of improved student learning and performance around these standards.

The Language Arts portion of the ACTAAP is based on standards in the Arkansas Language Arts Curriculum Framework.

The Stanford Achievement Test, Ninth Edition (SAT-9) contains six subtests for Language Arts levels Primary 1 through Primary 3. At the higher levels, there are seven subtests.
