CURRICULUM GUIDE
About the Indiana Language Arts Curriculum
How Indiana Academic Standards Work
Indiana sets its own language arts standards, organized by grade into reading, writing, speaking, and listening strands under the Indiana Academic Standards.
How Indiana Differs
Indiana maintains its own ELA standards rather than sharing a framework with neighboring states, and formally separates speaking and listening as a graded strand from 1st grade onward.
How Indiana Language Arts Progresses
Students move from phonics and foundational reading in the early grades through literary analysis in middle school and into senior electives like American Literature and Creative Writing.
How Indiana Assesses Language Arts
ILEARN tests reading and writing in 3rd through 8th grade, and the IREAD-3 checks foundational reading in 3rd grade as a separate gateway assessment.
