Discussion 2 Common Core Standards

The Common Core Standards reading standards focus on a holistic view of comprehension as an evolving skill and emphasize developing meaning from the beginning stages of reading development.  These standards are presented in grade level bands that are designed to facilitate critical reading and thinking skills.
