One recent enhancement came about via users' suggestions. You told us that linking readalongs to the new Common Core State Standards would help you -- so we've done just that.
We have correlated both the books themselves and the Guide activities with CCSS Language Arts and Mathematics standards. You can access our CCSS chart here. The chart lists the Live Oak titles that have been correlated to the CCSS and the standards to which they are correlated. We're adding new titles every month!
