The Purposes of Alignment: Make connections between the
preschool foundations and the standards in other resources Show the
developmental progression in different domains along a continuum:
Infant/toddler - Preschool- Kindergarten Inform and guide the
planning and development of curriculum and assessment materials 7

Alignment of the California Preschool Learning Foundations with
the Common Core State Standards
Slide 9
The Preschool Learning Foundations Goal: To strengthen
preschool education and childrens school readiness Developed by
researchers, early childhood educators, and other stakeholders. Age
Range: Describe key knowledge and skills that children acquire with
appropriate support At around 48 months of age At around 60 months
of age Cover nine developmental domains 9 For questions, please

Slide 11
The Common Core State Standards Goal: Clear and consistent
goals for learning, to prepare Americas children for success in
college and work Led by the National Governors Association (NGA),
and the Council of Chief State School Offices (CCSSO), and
developed in collaboration with a variety of stakeholders Age
Range: Standards for every grade level (K-12 th grade) Domains:
English-Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies,
Science, and Technical Subjects. Mathematics 11 For questions,

Slide 12
The Alignment Draws the connection between the preschool
learning foundations in the domains: Language and Literacy
Mathematics and the corresponding common core state standards.
Illustrates the developmental progression of key foundations in
these domains, as they relate to specific common core state
standards 12 For questions, please email:

Domain: Language and Literacy Alignment of the Preschool
Learning Foundations and the Kindergarten Common Core State
Standards
Slide 14
Language and Literacy Alignment at Strand Level: Preschool
Foundations Common Core Standards-KG Listening and Speaking Reading
Writing Speaking and Listening Language Standards Reading Standards
for Literature Reading Standards for Informational Texts Reading
Standards: Foundational Skills Writing Standards 14
Language and Literacy Alignment Analysis: Substantial
correspondence in content between the preschool foundations and the
common core state standards in all areas Certain common core
standards focus on skills that emerge in kindergarten, and
therefore have no corresponding content in the preschool
foundations: Reading Fluency (Read text with purpose and
understanding) Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity
Writing Production and Distribution of Writing Research to Build
and Present Knowledge 17 For questions, please email:

Slide 18
Developmental Progression Across Age-Levels Example: Concepts
about Print Preschool Foundations At around 60 months Common Core
Standards-K Concepts about Print 1.1 Display appropriate
book-handling behaviors and knowledge of print conventions. 1.2
Understand that print is something that is read and has specific
meaning Print Concepts 1. Demonstrate understanding of the
organization and basic features of print. Follow words from left to
right, top to bottom, and page by page. Recognize that spoken words
are represented in written language by specific sequences of
letters. Understand that words are separated by spaces in print. 18

Mathematics Alignment at Strand Level: Preschool Foundations
Common Core Standards-K Number Sense Algebra and Functions
(Classification and Patterning) Measurement Geometry Mathematical
Reasoning Counting and Cardinality Operations and Algebraic
Thinking Number and Operations in Base Ten Measurement and Data
Geometry Mathematical Practices 20 For questions, please email:

Slide 21
Mathematics Alignment at Strand Level: Even though the
preschool foundations and the common core standards are organized
somewhat differently, overall, both cover the same key areas in
mathematics. Differences in organization: Content related to number
sense in the preschool learning foundations is represented in two
key area in the common core state standards: counting and
cardinality, and operations and algebraic thinking. Content in
number and operations in base ten of the Common Core State
Standards is too advanced for it to have corresponding content in
the preschool foundations. Content related to Classification
appears under algebra and function in the preschool foundations,
and under measurement and data in the Common Core State Standards.

Mathematics Alignment at Substrand Level: For almost every
substrand of the preschool learning foundations, there is a
category in the common core state standards with corresponding
content. The Common Core State Standards Include differentiated
standards in mathematical reasoning Do not include standards
related to patterning, subitizing (number sense), and measuring
length (measurement). Developmental progression across age-levels
in every substrand 25 For questions, please email:

Slide 26
Developmental Progression Across Age-Levels Example: Number
Sense (Counting) Preschool Foundations At around 60 months Common
Core Standards- K 1.1 Recites numbers in order to twenty with
increasing accuracy. Know number names and the count sequence Count
to 100 by ones and by tens. Count forward beginning from a given
number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).

Slide 27
In Summary, The alignment indicates substantial correspondence
in content between the preschool learning foundations and the
common core state standards. The two documents cover the same key
areas in language & literacy and in mathematics, even when the
content is organized somewhat differently in the preschool
foundations and in the common core standards. The alignment
illustrates a developmental progression across age-levels, and the
differentiation of competencies as children learn and develop. 27
