About the Common Core Standards
The Common Core Standards are a set of standards adopted by most American states. Student learning is based on these standards throughout the year, and students in most states are tested based on these standards at the end of the school year. This workbook develops many skills listed in the Common Core Standards for English Language Arts, including skills in the reading, writing, and language strands. A complete list of the specific skills covered is included in the back of the book.
