Including Standards and Benchmarks
The passages and comprehension questions throughout this book correlate with McREL (Mid-Continent 
Research for Education and Learning) Standards. Known as a “Compendium of Standards and 
Benchmarks,” this resource is well researched. It includes standards and benchmarks that represent a 
consolidation of national and state standards in several content areas for grades K–12. (See page 6 for 
the specific McREL Standards and Benchmarks that correspond with this book.) These standards can be 
aligned to the Common Core Standards. To do so, please visit
