Reading strategies are structured to help students comprehend, evaluate, and respond to works of literature and other kinds of writing which reflect their own cultures and developing viewpoints as well as those of others.

The listening, speaking, and viewing strategies focus on helping students develop and apply these communication skills through a variety of informal and formal opportunities.

In addition, the writing section includes a four-item list of definitions of general performance standards; an explanation of scoring student responses to writing prompts; and a five-item list of domains and definitions.
