This Classroom Text Set assignment is designed to meet each component of the ASL Standard 1.2. This assignment will prepare Candidates to be a highly valued resource to classroom teachers for the purposes of increasing literacy and life-long reading habits among elementary school students representing a diverse student population.

The text set theme will be a skill, concept, or issue relevant to the elementary school curriculum in any subject content and aligned to the Maryland School Curriculum.
