Reading Benchmarks
College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for
Reading
“To become college and career ready, students must
grapple with works of exceptional craft and thought
whose range extends across genres, cultures, and
centuries. Such works offer profound insights into the
human condition and serve as models for students’ own
thinking and writing. Through wide and deep reading of
literature and literary nonfiction of steadily increasing
sophistication, students gain a reservoir of literary and
cultural knowledge, references, and images; the ability to
evaluate intricate arguments; and the capacity to
surmount challenges posed by complex texts.”
