Language Arts Mission Statement

Students in the Austin Independent School District English/Language Arts program will acquire the literacy and communication skills necessary to be productive and successful. All students will learn and practice the skills needed to grow as readers, become critical thinkers, and skilled writers.These opportunities are available to all students. The AISD Language Arts Team also works with other district teams, including the Multilingual Education Team and Departments of Special Education and Dyslexia/504, to make sure we meet the literacy needs of all students.

Curriculum

The AISD Language Arts curriculum is aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) set by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Please see the links for more information on the standards appropriate for your student.
