The Language Arts Standards adopted by the Pennsylvania Board of Education provide targets for instruction and student learning. Our curriculum is built to meet these standards and teachers work hard to ensure students successfully master them. The Language Arts Standards include the skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening and are covered in all areas of the curriculum as well as in reading and language arts classes.  To access the language arts standards click here.  A glossary, which contains important terms found on the test, can be found at the end of the standards document.
   

    Below are sites to help students practice some skills found on the PSSA.
