Correlation Charts

Book Club provides many opportunities to integrate your curriculum with the Common Core State Standards. The charts in this section correlate each unit in the teacher’s handbook to the Grade 5 CCSS for English Language Arts. Book Club lessons are flexible and may be enhanced with more explicit instruction in particular standards as needed. Your individual approach will depend on the specific grade-level standards you are using and on the content of your curriculum.
