EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS THAT MEET AND EXCEED THE COMMON CORE, STATE, AND NATIONAL STANDARDS
 
 
What are the common core standards?

It seems like every professional educator in the United States has been trying to find out what the common core standards are since they were released. If you are confused by them, you are not alone. Luckily, we are here to help.

Essentially, the common core is a new set of standards (on top of national, state, and local standards) that seeks to improve reading comprehension across the curriculum. The common core advocates the close reading of texts, combined with contextual vocabulary acquisition.
Can you please repeat that in plain English?

The common core mandates that teachers of all subjects, at all K-12 levels, must make certain that their students are becoming better, more fluent readers alongside learning course content.

For example, a World History teacher must make certain that his or her students are reading historical texts. Not only must the students learn how to read and comprehend primary source documents, but they must learn how to better read historical writing. The vocabulary the students learn must include high frequency words (such as chronological, decisive, and requisite) rather than just the content-specific terms (revolution, election, nation).
 
 
 
How do the materials at Student Handouts meet the common core standards?

Student Handouts offers hundreds of printable readings and workbooks that function to teach both content and reading comprehension.

We are in the unique position of offering materials that simultaneously cater to struggling readers and advanced readers who are looking to increase their vocabulary in order to prepare for college admissions tests such as the ACT and SAT.

Our readings and workbooks incorporate close reading of each text. Questions, ranging from basic recall to comprehension and application, are placed frequently throughout the text. In laymen's terms, "Just skimming the text is not an option." The frequently placed questions have the added benefit of maintaining student alertness while reading.

Additionally, our questions mimic those seen on many standardized tests. Vocabulary questions are similar to the verbal reasoning questions found on the SAT and ACT. Multiple-choice and document/graphic analysis questions mirror those found on state proficiency tests.

We are completely confident that educators who use our reading worksheets and workbooks with their students will improve their kids' content knowledge, reading skills, and test scores.
Sample Reviews:

I work in an Alternative Education Setting. Down time is never a good thing. This booklet fits our needs, because it is geared towards a wide range of students. I really like how questions are asked throughout the passage after short segments of reading. Many of our students have difficulties with reading comprehension. Asking questions along the way, helps students stay focused and not get lost in the passage. It also improves comprehension.

This 18-page download is terrific if you are looking for a quick unit study on Abraham Lincoln or need to supplement your American History curriculum. This download contains several pages of information about Abraham Lincoln with corresponding reading comprehension questions. The end of this download contains additional study sheets such as an impressive vocabulary page using words like vicissitude, enfranchisement and bulwarks.

This was great. Just what I was looking for! Well written, laid out and easy to understand. Best of all, My kids get it!

Our materials are used by everyone from regular classroom teachers, to special education reading room facilitators, to homeschooling parents.

Why so broad a reach? Because our stuff works!
