How Does EBRI Fit with the College & Career Readiness Standards (CCRS)?

So how does EBRI fit with the College & Career Readiness Standards (CCRS), one of three sets of content standards that help our students attain the academic, transitions, and digital literacy skills they need to transition to whatever is next in their lives?

RF.1. Demonstrate understanding of the organization and basic features of print [letters]. (added from Common Core State Standards)

RF.2. Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes).

RF.3. Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.

RF.4. Read [text] with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.

Then, in terms of CCRS Reading Standards, the EBRI content included in this course and MN Adult Education professional development generally aligns with the following standards up through CCRS Level D:

Anchor 1: Refer to [key] details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

Anchor 2: Determine the main idea or theme of a text and explain how it is supported by key details; summarize the text.

Anchor 3: Explain events, procedures, ideas, and concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text…based on specific information in the text.

Anchor 4: Determine the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words and phrases in a text relevant to a topic or subject area.

Anchor 5: Describe the overall structure of events, ideas, concepts, or information in a text or part of a text.

So when you are working with EBRI in your instruction, you are also working with the CCRS Standards, one of the key areas of content standards the MN Adult Education system has adopted.
