Reviewed and revised on a 10-year cycle<\/a>, Minnesota\u2019s ELA standards and benchmarks are organized into three strands: 1) reading, 2) writing, and 3) listening, speaking, viewing, and exchanging ideas.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n That’ll fix things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reading and math scores in Minnesota schools are lagging behind those of smug Minnesotans’ eternal punching bag, Mississippi.
