This product is perfect for first graders, or lower second graders that are working on the Common Core Literacy Standards! Each story in this pack will help you teach, assess, and give your students independent practice with standard R.L 1.1, RL.1.2, RL.1.3 and RL.1.4. The standards are listed at the top of each page, so that you can easily identify which standard you are targeting. Students will learn how to take a closer look at what they read, in order to deepen their understanding and prepare them for 2nd grade!
