This curriculum outline reflects the current program in elementary language arts in the more exemplary classrooms in Hawaii. The program is described under four headings--reading, writing, literature, and speech. For reading and writing, individual skills to be mastered are listed for both lower and upper elementary grades. For literature, general goals are listed for both elementary levels. The speech program covers listening and speaking, and each subsection is divided into three grade levels: kindergarten, primary, and upper elementary. For each level, "skills,""oral language experiences," and "expected outcomes" are stated. Some of the skills covered include word perception, interpretation, oral and silent reading, self expression in practical writing, kinds of written expression, listening to follow directions, and learning to explain and give simple directions.
