About the New Hampshire Language Arts Curriculum
How NH Model Competencies Works
New Hampshire sets its own language arts standards through the NH Model Competencies, organizing skills by grade band across reading, writing, speaking, and language.
How New Hampshire Differs
New Hampshire uses a competency-based model that allows districts flexibility in pacing, meaning course sequences can vary more than in states with a single mandated scope.
How New Hampshire Language Arts Progresses
Students move from foundational literacy in early grades through argument and research writing in middle school, into senior electives like journalism and technical communication.
How New Hampshire Assesses Language Arts
NH SAS tests language arts in selected grades, and senior students may pursue college readiness through SAT-aligned coursework alongside their 11th and 12th grade ELA.
