Text Complexity• The Common Core Standards hinge on
students encountering appropriately complex texts at each grade level in order to develop the mature language skills and the conceptual knowledge they need for success in school and life” (p. 3).

Reading Standards for Literature Example grade level Standard 10
Fourth Grade: By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poetry, in the grades 4–5 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
Third Grade: By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poetry, at the high end of the grades 2–3 text complexity band independently and proficiently

Example grade level Standard 10 Continued….
Fifth Grade: By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poetry, at the high end of the grades 4–5 text complexity band independently and proficiently.
Sixth Grade: By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poems, in the grades 6–8 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.

Why Is Text Complexity Important?
Why Text Complexity Matters

Reflection Question1. Why do you think text
complexity is being addressed in the Common Core?

Three Components of Text Complexity
Quantitative: Readability measuresand other scores of text complexity
Qualitative: Levels of meaning, structure, language conventionality and clarity, andknowledge demands.
Matching Readers to Text: Reader variables (such as motivation, knowledge, and experiences) and task variables (such as purpose and the complexity. Generated by the task assigned and the questions posed)

A Four-step Process:
Determining Text Complexity
12
4. Recommend placement in the appropriate text complexity band.
3. Reflect upon the reader and task considerations.
2. Analyze the qualitative measures of the text.
1. Determine the quantitative measures of the text.

Step 1: Quantitative Measures
Measures such as:
• Word length (syllables)
• Word frequency• Word difficulty (also
frequency of unfamiliar words)
• Sentence length• Text length• Text cohesion

Step 3: Reader and Task Considerations
Considerations such as:– Motivation
– Knowledge and experience
– Purpose for reading
– Complexity of task assigned regarding text
– Complexity of questions asked regarding text
