What makes text complex?Readability Formula
1. Challenging Vocabularya. Tier 2: Instructional Wordsb. Tier 3: Content Specific Words
2. Long Complex Sentencesa. Sentence Structure determines how the words work
togetherb. Often contain multiple phrases or clauses, more ideas,
longer noun or verb phrases, and more complex relationships
c. If students are to interpret the meaning of complex sentences, they need to be able to make sense of the phrasing, word order, punctuation, language, etc.

CoherenceThe ability to determine the connection between words, ideas, and sentences.
OrganizationIdeas can be arranged across texts in many ways:– Sequential: Science experiment, recipe, fiction, history– Compare/Contrast: Science– Problem/Solution: History, Social Studies
Students who are aware of the patterns authors use to communicate complex information have an advantage in making sense of text

Background Knowledge– Vocabulary, sentence structure, coherence,
and organization can all be determined by closely analyzing the text itself. A final determinant of text difficulty, however, depends on the reader's prior knowledge.• Old Man In the Sea
– Students' background knowledge, including developmental, experiential, and cognitive factors, influences their ability to understand the explicit and inferential qualities of a text.

What Can Teachers Do About Text Complexity?
Build Skills• Fluency– Lots of practice using expression and
punctuation within context– Stop and discuss meaning of text– Read same text several times, asking a
different question each time.
![Page 10: Welcome Opening Prayer](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061602/568166ed550346895ddb3e81/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Establish a Purpose• Students need to know what kind of text they are
reading and what to do with the information– Example: "Determine the difference between desert
and tundra biomes" would direct the reading differently from establishing the purpose, "Examine the author's use of imagery and consider how you could apply it in your own writing.”
Foster Motivation and Persistence. Students need to help to keep their head in the
game, because working past the pain of reading complex text will be beneficial.
• You need to create successive successes• Students need a teacher, who combines complex
texts with effective instruction

Fry Readability FormulaUsing the article , “The Challenge of Challenging Text,” determine the readability by using the Fry formula.
1. Randomly select three (3) sample passages and count out exactly 100 words each, beginning with the beginning of a sentence. Do count proper nouns, initializations, and numerals.
2. Count the number of sentences in the 100 words, estimating length of the fraction of the last sentence to the nearest one-tenth.
3. Count the total number of syllables in the 100-word passage. If you don't have a hand counter available, an easy way is simply to put a mark above every syllable over one in each word; then, when you get to the end of the passage, count the number of marks and add 100. Small calculators can also be used as counters by pushing numeral 1, then pushing the + sign for each word or syllable.
4. Enter graph with average sentence length and average number of syllables; plot dot where the two lines intersect. Area where dot is plotted will give you the approximate grade level.
Using a text you brought to class, determine the readability level by using the Fry formula.

Student Study Assignment1. Observation: Look for ways that your student uses
literacy to communicate information, feelings, and identities. You should also look for how your focal student uses literacy to make sense of (texts in) their world and position themselves and others.
2. Administer the Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory

Vocabulary Instruction• Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Vocabulary
Words
• Four main principles that guide vocabulary instruction1. Students should be active2. Students should personalize word learning.3. Students should be immersed in words.4. Students should build on multiple sources
of information to learn words through repeated exposures.

Vocabulary Presentations1. Clearly identify the strategy – name it – and explain how it works, step by
step.
2. Clearly explain its value; that is, why you’re using it and what it can do for students. Be specific.
3. Clearly explain its disciplinary connection by explaining what disciplinary skills, practices, processes, and ways of thinking, doing, and being it helps students develop.
4. Accurately demonstrate/enact the strategy as you would in your actual disciplinary classroom. If you make adjustments, explain why you are making adjustments. Most importantly, demonstrate the strategy in a disciplinary appropriate way by using disciplinary texts, processes, and concepts.
5. Stick to the 8-10 minute time limit.
6. Provide a handout for your colleagues.
