Our CCLS (Common Core Learning Standards) series for 5th Grade English Language Arts version prepares students throughout Utah for the required Common Core Learning Standards to test students' reading proficiency.

These standards are covered extensively by the practice problems. This book contains over 250 practice exercises aligned to the Reading Literature and Reading Informational Text Common Core Standards.
