"Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators" is a booklet developed by the  PA Dept. of Education &  the PA Association of Intermediate Units

The Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators are the developmental steps that a learner performs to demonstrate knowledge stated in the Academic Standards. They are not academic standards, but reflect a continuum of skills that are needed for all learners to be successful. The  Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators focus on preschool through Grade 2 in Reading Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Mathematics. The indicators are based on child development theory and authentic observations of the steps young children move through to eventually reach the Pennsylvania Academic Standards. These measurable indicators provide educators with information concerning what the learners should know and be able to do across a continuum of age or  grade ranges. Included are suggestions for the use of the Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators as well as suggestions for implementation.
