Auburndale’s language arts program focuses on the study of reading, language development, literature, composition, listening, and speaking based upon the adopted California Common Core Standards for language arts. In addition, language arts prepares students to demonstrate success on both district assessments and the annual CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) test. The study of language arts at Auburndale integrates the reading/literature skills with the study of language mechanics, writing, spelling, and vocabulary to create a well-rounded, balanced language arts program. The curriculum centers around the literature provided in the adopted textbooks, along with outside sources.
