The Common Core is neutral on whether students should read Shakespeare, Salinger, or a Ford owner's manual as long as the text remains 'complex'.

New teachers may feel overwhelmed by the itemization of skills in the Common Core and rely on prepared materials to ensure their students are practicing 'common core-aligned' questions.
