Reading Express has been customized to Common Core and specific state standards.

Don't See Your State? Don't Worry

For states where a customized edition has not been developed and Common Core State Standards have not been adopted, the National Standards Edition focuses on the skills most commonly found across all state standards and addressed in most basal textbooks.
