Capstone, Common Core & Curriculum

Capstone supports your curriculum

From Common Core State Standards to STEM, Capstone has you covered, state by state

The most expensive book in your library is the book that never gets used.

At Capstone, we understand that books are in the library to circulate, not sit on the shelves! That’s why we pay particular attention to Common Core State Standards, national curriculum trends such as STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) plus state-based content standards across various disciplines such as science and social studies.

• Curriculum connected from the beginning. Our educational and editorial experts combine their knowledge of the standards and educational best practices to create books that meet educational objectives.
   
• Correlated to the standards by educators. Use our handy web search tools to match books to standards or standards to books and have confidence that every recommended correlation has been reviewed by a teacher librarian.
   
• Kid-friendly content. Standards-based learning need not be dull! Capstone books are packed with essential curriculum content and supported with high-impact visuals, interesting text and kid-friendly spins on important topics.
   
• Informational text features are present in every Capstone nonfiction title. Common Core State Standards are very specific about information text features such as indexes, table of contents and more. Every Capstone book - including those for the youngest readers - support informational text needs.
   
• Writing prompts or visual literacy exercises in every fiction book. Help support Common Core state standards in writing, alternate formats, text/illustration interplay, and evidence-based discussion with the writing prompts or visual literacy exercises in every fiction book.
