I received a question just the other day about my book pass article in Library Sparks and what CCS that activity would be related to . So I really started to think about the CCS and how they fit into the library program .
Reading is at the core of the ELA common core standards, so really most of the standards go along with the library program of reading readiness for college- even in the youngest grades. Each and every book that students read will help them on their way to becoming better readers.
As librarians we build collections for students to read for pleasure - we have story hours, read alouds, reading incentives, and use award lists to promote the best books.
As students read they are also gaining confidence in pulling out main ideas, parts of the story characters, plot, and story curve. The standards give some great examples of stories, poetry and drama that apply the range of reading text types.
We need to be aware and know the CCS and be an advocate to administration , teachers, parents, and students that school librarians are at the core of learning within the standards. When you dive into the standards for you state, you will begin to see the important job we need to do to help students in all areas.
