Vancouver Reading Tutoring FAQ
The Common Core literacy standards have become a top priority in the US world of education. It represents the K-12 standards for what each student should be able to understand and do when they reach the end of each grade level. CCR (College and Career Readiness) standards are also important, especially if you plan to attend a university or college after graduating from high school. Then, there are other state standardized tests that you need to be prepared for as well, such as the End-of-Course exams (EOC), Measurements of Student Progress (MSP), and Smarter Balance.
