Overview

The Common Core Standards for Reading were developed to help students read and analyze a piece of writing more effectively, giving them the tools they need to succeed on college applications, in college, and in the world of employment. One important factor of the reading standards is the ability to determine point of view and the purpose of a piece of writing. This volume provides guided lessons using excerpts from well-known pieces of writing, Core-focused quiz questions, and advice from an expert reader on how students can get the most out of their reading.
