Common Core Standards Reading
Common Core Reading In Action
The Common Core Reading Standards for Literacy require the explicit instruction in reading strategies across the content areas. The goal of these standards is to develop independent, strategic readers. LiteracyTA has created literacy strategies, student materials, and live trainings that put the Common Core Reading Standards for Literacy into action. The table below provides links to resources that teachers should use to help implement the Common Core Literacy Standards.
