PCSD ELA & Reading

In the Putnam County School District, core English Language Arts courses focus on instruction of the B.E.S.T. ELA Standards and the coordinating ELA Expectations. The B.E.S.T. Standards for ELA provide educators and families with information regarding what students must know and be able to do within each grade level.
