Questions
Where do the standards codes come from?
They are the Common Core's own codes for reading literature, reading information text and foundational reading skills, kindergarten to grade 8. A code is used only if it exists in the published standards, and the lines beside them are our own words.
Who checks the questions?
Each card says how it was checked: written and checked by hand against the book, or written by one model and read by a second, then checked in code. Every question quotes the line of the book its answer rests on.
Why do only some books have a card?
The cards are made in batches and each must pass the checks before it is shown. A book without a card simply has no card yet.
