Common Core Skills & Strategies for Vocabulary

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn in the area of vocabulary acquisition and use, a key component to literacy. Aligning each lesson in these six Common Core titles to the CCSS English language arts standards ensures that students are being exposed to grade-level content.

Beginning with foundational skills, the activities teach students in a balanced and methodical way. The alignments offer a progressive development of vocabulary acquisition and use so that students advancing through the levels are able to gain more from whatever they read. Each title includes a table of contents, a CCSS alignment chart, 130 reproducible lessons individually aligned to the CCSS, a scope and sequence chart, and an answer key. Each book includes a CD, which contains a complete electronic version of the reproducible as an Unlocked PDF.
