The analysts, however, said New York should supplement its standards with lists of high-quality literary works that educators can use in the classroom to build students' literacy and vocabulary.

New York State's academic standards for English Language Arts continue to set relatively high goals for students after revisions last year that included jettisoning the Common Core label, a new national review concludes.
The reviewers faulted New York, however, for failing to pair its standards with specific lists of high-quality literary works, such as Shakespearean dramas. Such lists could help teachers select appropriate readings for students, the report said.
The state's English benchmarks, which cover instruction from preschool through 12th grade, got a quality rating of "good" from a review team assembled by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a Washington, D.C., think tank. The group's 156-page report was released early Wednesday.
