Ability to deal with complex text is the clearest differentiator.

Mastering Complex Text = KEY
Students who can master the skills necessary to read and understand complex texts are more likely to be college-ready than those who cannot.

Determining Complexity
Teachers must understand how particular text features can influence comprehension.(Hiebert, 2013)
![Page 8: Truth text complexity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568161a3550346895dd15dde/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Determining Complexity
QUANTITATIVE Readbility Indices
like Lexile & Guided Reading Levels lengths of sentences numbers of
challenging words
Measurable with software

Determining Complexity
QUALITATIVE Use of exemplar texts Consideration of student
need “Face Validity”
Human judgment is required.

Determining Complexity
QUALITATIVE 4 Dimensions:
Levels of meaning Knowledge demands Language
conventions/clarity Structure
Texts are not uniformly simple or complex across all four dimensions.

Determining Complexity
READER and TASK Teacher decides
and
each text should be used in which part of the year with what scaffolding for which children.

5th Grade
By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature and informational texts at the high end of the grades 4-5 complexity band, independently and proficiently.

8th Grade
By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature and literary nonfiction at the high end of the grades 6-8 complexity band independently and proficiently.

11th Grade
By the end of grade 11, read and comprehend literature and literary nonfiction in the grades 11-CCR text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
