Troy We are also very much a Fountas/Pinnell district and have been for many years. We have already begun to use the Common Core. I feel I can share many different thoughts which may be too lengthy for this list serve. You are certainly welcome to contact me personally. However, I will say that the listed independent benchmark levles seem very high.

I am on my district's literacy Taskforce. We are starting the task of creating descriptors for each grade level for the implementation of Common Core next year. This will include sight words students should know,(which I am not keen on), what Fountas & Pinnell Benchmark level students should be at, and exactly what a student should be able to do and use as far as reading strategies. It must meet all Common Core Standards. We are a district really pushing everything Fountas & Pinnell also, so we have their LLI program and are starting to implement the Benchmark Assessment. We are going to use the Fountas and Pinnell Continuum Of Literacy to help us do this. I was wondering anyone out has put together this type of document in their district yet and what it looked like. I would love an example to look at. We are setting lofty standards. Here are our Independent Level Goals for next year for the end of the year using F & P Benchmark.
