Text Complexity—Appendix A Qualitative evaluation of the text
– Levels of meaning, structure, language conventionality and clarity, and knowledge demands
•Quantitative evaluation of the text– Readability measures and other scores of
text complexity•Matching reader to text and task
– 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)

•K-12 texts have become easier; college texts have not.
•College textbooks, workplace texts, and newspapers are more demanding than materials used in 12th grade.
•Instruction with HS texts is heavily scaffolded while students are expected to read independently in college.
•The reading load in college is substantially more than what students typically experience in lower grades.

Shift in Instruction
“. . . it is important to recognize that scaffolding often is entirely appropriate. The expectation that scaffolding will occur with particularly challenging texts is built into the Standards’ grade-by-grade text complexity expectations, for example. The general movement, however, should be toward decreasing scaffolding and increasing independence both within and across the text complexity bands defined in the standards.”

CCSS Text Issues Highlights• CCSS intentionally do not offer reading list/s, but do
offer sample texts to help guide and inform• CCSS establish “staircase” of increasing
complexity to prepare students for college and career-level reading
• CCSS mandate certain critical types of content for all students including classic myths, foundational U.S. documents, seminal works of American literature, Shakespeare
• Students expected to read diverse array of classic and contemporary literature along with challenging informational texts in a range of subject areas

Important to Know and Do…• Pay attention to new
objectives, pacing, unpacking documents, Cross-walks, and learning progressions.
• Limit following current textbooks and workbooks exclusively. Select and sort current materials to help pupils actively “dig” deeper in content.
• Identify “gaps” and supplement by grade-level/subject kits, materials, etc.
• Utilize DPI, district, and standard Smarter Balanced Common Core materials.
• Remember: Every teacher teaches READING and LITERACY.
