Our 2nd edition Michigan 5th Grade ELA Test Prep for Common Core State Standards is an excellent resource to assess and manage student's understanding of concepts outlined in the Common Core State Standards Initiative. The material emphasized in this book is placed on Reading Literature and Reading Informational Text Common Core Standards. Practice problems in this book involve: explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text; determining a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text, including how characters in a story or drama respond to challenges; comparing and contrast two or more characters, settings, or events in a story or drama; determining the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text; explaining how a series of chapters, scenes, or stanzas fits together to provide the overall structure of a particular story; describing how a narrator's or speaker's point of view influences how events are described; analyzing how visual and multimedia elements contribute to the meaning, tone, or beauty of a text; and comparing and contrasting stories in the same genre. These standards are covered extensively through multiple-choice practice problems. This book contains over 250 practice problems aligned to each Common Core State Standard.
