WELCOME TO THE CLASSROOM LIBRARY COMPANY’S INTRODUCTION

Common Core State Standards Catalog

As teachers we are now looking at the Common Core State Standards front and center in the teaching of English
Language Arts. It has become and will remain the foundation of U.S reading and content area education. The Common
Core framework is required knowledge for every beginning teacher and is central to his/her planning. The CCSS do
not tell educators “how,” but rather “what” students are supposed to learn. With this in mind, we have done some extensive
research on programs that have aligned literature and informational texts to the standards ensuring that your reading program
will help students deeply understand content and build the literacy skills needed to advance through the grades.

Our Classroom Libraries were built around the Jossey-Bass Common Core Curriculum Maps by reading specialists and
educators. The Common Core Curriculum maps:

• provide you with a complete year-long Common Core-aligned curriculum.
• were written by teachers, for teachers!
• include 6 grade specific units (K-8).
• revolve around a central theme.
• include book lists including all Exemplar Texts.
• include thought-provoking activities for each set.

We know how important it is to be able to trust that the materials you purchase are carefully chosen.

The Classroom Library Company employs reading/ literacy specialists and former educators who are trained in assigning Guided
Reading levels and are knowledgeable in Common Core State standards. We are thrilled to be able to pass on this information
to you in our new Common Core State Standards Catalog! We know what you’re facing because we’ve been in your shoes.
We are here to make it easy.
