CCSS: Text Complexity Session     

Target Audience:
ELA / Literacy educators and administrators

Abstract:
The Common Core State Standards require students to read increasingly complex texts with increasing independence as they progress toward career and college readiness.  This session will focus on various aspects of text complexity.  Participants will develop an understanding of the reasoning and importance of the emphasis placed on text complexity.  Using a protocol, participants will apply new learning to determine text complexity grade bands for a selection of common texts.  It is recommended that participants bring 3-4 classroom texts (shorter texts preferred; please exclude poetry and drama) to the session in order to determine grade bands of their own texts.  Participants will share their work with the group thus allowing everyone to leave the session with a newly compiled list of texts and grade bands to influence text use at their school.
