Language Arts - Grade 9

Language Arts

The Idaho State Achievement Standards for Language Arts provides skills for kindergarten through twelfth grade.

Reading programs during the first three years should be designed so that adequate instructional time is devoted to the teaching of phonemic awareness skills, phonics skills, the development of spelling and orthographic skills, the development of reading fluency and automaticity and the development of reading comprehension strategies. Each of these components of reading instruction should be taught in an integrated context with ample practice provided in reading familiar material. This is imperative for those demonstrating difficulty in learning to read, but beneficial for all.

The Idaho Reading Indicator (IRI) is designed to measure grade level knowledge. The tests are administered in the fall and winter and any student who is not at grade level must take the test again in the spring. The IRI assess the skills that each child should have mastered at the time of testing.

Grade 9

The Idaho State Achievement Standards for Language Arts/Communications lists learning goals for students in grades 9-12.
