One of the many goals of common core based lessons is to support, guide, scaffold students in developing the necessary reading and writing skills that will be demanded of them to succeed in college and/or the business world. This process will start out in Kindergarten and continue through the 12th grade. As students move up in grade levels, assigned tasks will cover more challenging tasks which will in turn pose more in-depth academic reading challenges. Teachers will therefore need a wide variety of approaches to ensure that every student has multiple opportunities to reach that level of proficiency in those skills, and such mastery translates into quality life choices:)
