Common Core Standards
Grade 7
Language L.7.4
Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grade 7 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.
This standard is pretty much exactly like its eighth-grade counterpart, so you should go check out what we have to say over there. Be sure to bring some chips and salsa when you're visiting the eighth grade crowd.
P.S. If your students need to brush up on their spelling and grammar, send 'em over to our Grammar Learning Guides so they can hone their skills before conquering the Common Core.
