Most important, the questions focus on the fifth grade level Common Core Standards. This is extremely important because Common Core wants students to do completely different things at each grade level to demonstrate comprehension.  For example, RL.6 at fifth grade level is very different from RL.6 at fourth grade level.  The questions in this document address the fifth grade standards to provide relevant and targeted review.  The standard is even written above each question to make progress monitoring even easier.

Topics and areas covered in the passages include:

• The Pony Express
• Light and Energy
• Moon Phases
• Historical Fiction 
• Realistic Fiction
• Poetry
• Plays
• The Inca Civilization
• Plants
• Tide Pools
• Animal Features and Adaptations
• And More!

Many of the standards repeat across the weeks to provide steady Common Core review. Quick informational text, realistic fiction, historical fiction, poetry, and plays are included to provide Common Core practice across multiple genres.Click Here
