Benchmark Advance Alignment:
This resource is loosely aligned with all editions of Benchmark Advance. The skills included were selected based on overlap across editions, so while every lesson may not appear exactly in your edition, the strategies are universally relevant.
How These Differ from Close Reading Companions:
The Daily ELA Practice Worksheets provide independent practice on minilesson skills and strategies, rather than being tied to a specific text as the Close Reading Companions are. They offer additional skill reinforcement and flexibility in your classroom.
Can You Use These Without Benchmark Advance?
Yes! While the skills align with Benchmark Advance, they are not dependent on it. The lessons are organized by strategy, so you can easily pair them with whatever curriculum you’re teaching.
