The document discusses the objectives and contents of student portfolios to track the development of literacy skills from kindergarten to 3rd grade. The portfolios will register students' progress in developing four basic language skills - listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They will also track competencies like critical thinking, understanding of basic literary elements, independence, and self-assessment. The portfolios will use checklists, student work samples, and self-reflection to monitor progress in phonological awareness, print knowledge, oral language, sequencing ability, and other skills over the four-year period.
