A Correlation of 2011 to the Common Core State Standards for North Carolina
INTRODUCTION This document demonstrates how Scott Foresman meets the objectives of the Common Core State Standards. Correlation page references are to the Teacher s Edition and are cited by unit and volume. Lessons in the Teacher s Edition contain facsimile Student Edition pages. Scott Foresman Reading Street is a comprehensive reading program for Kindergarten through Grade Six that is built on solid research and prioritizes instruction for the five core areas of reading instruction for every grade: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary and Text Comprehension. Assessment Reading Street begins the year with the Baseline Group Test to make initial grouping decisions. Daily and Weekly assessment allow teachers to monitor students progress at different critical points of instruction. The Unit Benchmark Test measures students mastery of target skills taught throughout the unit. The End-of-Year Benchmark Test measures students mastery of target skills taught throughout the six units of the program. Writing on Reading Street Writing instruction on Reading Street emphasizes the reciprocal nature of reading and writing. Writing instruction integrates the skills and knowledge that students learn and practice as they read and helps students apply those skills and that knowledge in their writing. Differentiated Instruction for Group Time Reading Street instruction is systematic, explicit, and highly focused for all ability levels. Weekly plans and daily lessons provide small group instruction for Strategic Intervention (below level), On-Level, Advanced, and English Language Learners. Reading Street follows the Response to Intervention model (RTI) to meet the instructional needs of all students. It offers a process that monitors student s progress throughout the year so teachers can support on-level and advanced students and identify struggling readers early. ELL Instruction Daily support for English language learners can be found in the Differentiated Instruction feature in the Reading Street Teacher s Edition, as well as daily lessons for the ELL group. They offer pacing suggestions for the week and scaffolded instruction for the week s target skills and strategies. An ELL Reader reinforces the weekly concept and vocabulary while building language and fluency. Literacy Reading Street provides what teachers need to organize and carry out a customized literacy program. Planning guides and instructional lessons help teachers plan and implement lessons. Teachers can select from a rich array of readers to match texts to students. 21 st Century Skills Technology on Scott Foresman Reading Street can be used both for enhancing student experiences and preparing them for the future. Throughout the year, research-based technology options enrich instruction and assist in the management of classroom learning.

Every selection has a Think Critically question in the Student Edition that requires children to answer questions that relate text to self or text to world. Look Back and Write requires children to review what they have read and use it as evidence to answer a question about the text. (See, for example, SE 1: 44.) Primary selections have paired selections that are related to theme or topic. Reading Across Texts and Writing Across Texts may require children to refer to the paired selections to respond to their questions. (See, for example, SE 1: 79.) 27
continued In addition, the program s Research and Inquiry strand provides instruction in gathering information, using background knowledge or other sources to answer questions. (See, for example, TE 4.1: 45b, 79b, 113b) Extend the opportunities by providing reference sources, such as encyclopedias, in the classroom. After reading selections, ask specific questions. Have children work together to find information in the reference source to answer the questions. For example, after reading Anansi Goes Fishing, ask, How many legs does a spider have? How many body parts does a spider have? TE 1.1: 47b; 3.1: 447b; 4.1: 45b, 79b, 113b; 4.2: 147b, 181b; 5.1: 215b, 251b 281b; 5.2: 317b, 351b; 6.1: 385b, 421b; 6.2: 491b, 523b, CW 13 CW 14 Writing 9.

Follow agreedupon rules for discussions (e.g., gaining the floor in respectful ways, listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion). The Listening and Speaking Strand in the program identifies reasons for speaking and listening and offers tips and reminders in both the Student Edition and the Teacher s Edition for effective listening and speaking. The lessons review methods for effective speakers and listeners in the Teacher s Edition lessons and are labeled as Tips on the Student Edition pages. In addition, the Communicate page of each Research and Inquiry strand provides reminders for effective listening and speaking. The pages listed below provide representative examples. SE 1: 51, 81, 149, 183, 313, 417; 2: 118, 323, 357, 457 TE 1.1: 49f, 51a, 51j, 79e, 81a, 81j; 1.2: 181e, 183a; 3.1: 415f; 4.1: 117e 118 119; 5.2: 321e, 323a, 355e, 357a; 6.1: 455e, 457a Speaking/Listening 1.b. Build on others talk in conversations by linking their comments to the remarks of others. Discussion is an important part of the program. Every lesson begins with Concept Talk in which children discuss the question of the week and children discuss the lesson s theme or topic. Within the discussion, the teacher guides discussion with prompts that help children stay on topic. (See, for example, TE 1.1: 20j, 20 21 TE 2.1: 186j, 186 187.) 29
continued Through the Listening and Speaking and Media Literacy strand, strategies for effective listening and speaking remind children to pay close attention and to stay on topic. (See, for example, TE 2.1: 245f and TE 3.1: 415f.) Throughout all discussion activities, guide children who stray from the topic. Remind them to listen carefully to the ideas of others and to use these ideas as springboards for their own comments. Speaking/Listening 1.c. Ask for clarification and further explanation as needed about the topics and texts under discussion. Listening and Speaking and Media Literacy lessons in the Student and Teacher s Editions remind children to ask questions if they do not understand the information or need additional explanation to clarify what they heard. See the following representative examples: SE 1: 217, 247, 277, 313, 345 TE 2.1: 216 217, 217a, 247a, 275e, 276 277, 277a; 2.2: 312 313, 313a 344 345, 345a; 4.1: 82 83 Speaking/Listening 2. Recount or describe key ideas or details from a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media. The program practices retelling skills in which children are guided in retelling important ideas in written materials. (See, for example, TE 3.1: 372 373.) This skill is related to retelling graphic and orally presented material because children are required to analyze and restate information. The Listening and Speaking and Media Literacy strands offer opportunities to summarize and retell information presented orally or through other media. 30
