The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers. The standards provide teachers and parents with an understanding of what students are expected to learn. Consistent standards provide appropriate benchmarks for all students, regardless of where they live. These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education so they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs.

Gives lots of examples and opportunities to practice.

Gives lots of examples and opportunities to practice.

This book gives numerous examples and opportunities to practice; however, if the whole test is made up of selections to read, followed by essays that analyze those texts, I am not very impressed by the test. Surely there must be more to it; however, since I have never seen the test, I could be wrong.
