Summary of Changes ELA• Building knowledge through content-
rich nonfiction• Reading, writing and speaking grounded
in evidence from text, both literary and informational
• Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
What’s in What’s out1. Daily encounters w/complex
texts2. Texts worthy of close
attention3. Balance of literary and info
text4. Coherent sequence of text5. Mostly text dependent
questions6. Evidence based analyses7. Accent on academic
vocabulary8. Emphasis on reading &
rereading9. Reading strategies10. Pre-mediation
1. Leveled texts (only)2. Reading any ‘ol text3. Solely literature4. Collection of unrelated
texts5. Mostly text-to-self
questions6. Personal opinions
about issues7. Accent on literary
terminology8. Emphasis on pre-
reading9. Reading strategies10. (Just) Remediation

link to major topics• Rigor: In major topics, pursue
conceptual understanding, procedural skills and fluency and application
