===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Notes and Additional Information**=== An understanding of language is essential for effective communication. “The inclusion of Language standards in their own strand should not be taken as an indication that skills related to conventions, knowledge of language, and vocabulary are unimportant to reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing; indeed, they are inseparable from such contexts.” Fifth grade student must have a strong command of the grammar and usage of spoken and written standard English. Standards that are related to conventions are appropriate to formal spoken English as they are to formal written English. In this grade, emphasis is on the function of conjunctions, prepositions, interjections, and verb tenses. With conventions, students must become more adept in the use of commas
