The Basal Alignment Project offers: A library of revised lessons for common Basal reading series (3rd-5th grades), each carefully aligned to the CCSS. Each new lesson includes quality text-dependent questions, improved tasks, and a focus on academic vocabulary. Text Dependent questions -- 3rd-5th grades for Harcourt Trophies There's also a 6th-8th grade group too. These groups rewrite the questions of the book. -- We can always look at the quality and bump it up if needed. But, much of the work is done as a starting point.  Just join on Edmodo using the codes listed on these pages.
