As part of the first phase of a three-year project to develop a total curriculum that integrates career education concepts with other subject areas, this language arts guide for grades kindergarten through five synthesizes the contributions of classroom teachers from two school districts. With emphasis on reading instruction in all facets of language arts, the guide outlines career education and language arts program goals, student objectives, and specific course goals. Performance objectives with sample indicators of student accomplishment, sample classroom activities, and suggested teacher resources are arranged in chart form according to grade level and specific language arts concepts.
