You basically...Tiffany Schmidt helped me with that. You basically look at the standards and identify which of them are met by your reader-guide questions + activities (or you can go the other way, and tailor your guide to fit the standards).<br />The standards are all on the Common Core website. For example, here's the link to the 9th + 10th grades "Reading-literature" standards:<br />http://www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/RL/9-10/<br /><br />And an example would be: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.9 is, "Analyze how an author draws on and transforms source material in a specific work (e.g., how Shakespeare treats a theme or topic from Ovid or the Bible or how a later author draws on a play by Shakespeare)." So let's say your book was based on a myth or fairy tale. Your reader guide could mention that and invite the reader to identify the parallels between your book and that myth, and then you could list ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.9 as one of the standards you're aligned with.Jennifer R.

Thank you....This was a very helpful post, Jennifer! Thank you. I'm just starting to do library and school visits and I like the idea of a book club visit. I'm going to suggest that when schools contact me. How did you identify the Common Core standards your books are aligned to?Jen Doktorskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16143138396478408692noreply@blogger.com
