California standards
Grades 2–3. This download gives practice for these California standards:
- CA CCSS ELA RL.2.1: Ask and answer who, what, where, when, why and how questions about key details in a text.
- CA CCSS ELA RL.2.10: Read and comprehend literature in the grades 2-3 text complexity band.
- CA CCSS ELA RL.3.1: Ask and answer questions to show understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text.
- CA CCSS ELA RL.3.3: Describe characters in a story and explain how their actions contribute to events.
California uses the Common Core State Standards for math and English language arts (CA CCSS). This is practice material, not a state-adopted curriculum or an assessment. Schools can see all aligned resources on our Schools & Programs page.
How to use it
Use one passage a day for small groups, homework or a reading center. Ask students to point to the sentence that proves each answer. Open-response answers can vary if the story supports them.
Funding fit: Schools often use Title I/SPSA or LCFF funds for resources like this; your district decides.
