The current educational climate demands that teachers correlate their lesson content and classroom activities with specific learning standards. To assist teachers in meeting these demands, I have created the following list of specific standards addressed by each of the books.

While I am referring to California standards, those of other states can be quite similar. I have also listed the California Learning Standards to which I refer in the hope that teachers everywhere may correlate the materials with the standards in effect in their states.

I hope this helps.
