The Dilemma
The difficulty in transitioning from high school to college and careers may be caused, in part, by a
substantial “gap” in text complexity between high school and college and workforce materials.

The Importance of Complex Text
“The Common Core Standards hinge on students encountering appropriately complex texts at each grade level in order to develop the mature language skills and the conceptual knowledge they need for success in school and life” (p. 3. CCSS).

Let’s Talk
Why is it important to examine the three dimensions of text
complexity before implementing a text in the classroom?

The Process
4. Recommend placement in the appropriate text complexity band.
3. Reflect upon the reader and task considerations.
2. Analyze the qualitative measures of the text.
1. Determine the quantitative measures of the text.

Supporting Research
• Betts (1946) Theory of instructional levels described how learning is optimized when students read texts of appropriate difficulty. However, this theory has been challenged over the years.
• Powell’s (1960) findings indicate students learn more from difficult texts because teaching facilitates comprehension.
• This theory also gels well with Vygotsky’s (1978) theory of social learning.

Supporting Research ELLs
Oral proficiency in English (including oral vocabulary, grammar, and listening comprehension) is critical for ELs to develop proficiency in text level English reading ‐comprehension: word identification skills are necessary but not sufficient
Instruction in the components of reading foundational skills—such as phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension (NICHD, 2000)—benefits ELs.
ELs’ native language literacy skills can help them learn English foundational literacy skills.

Meeting the Needs of English Learners
Challenges Meeting Student Needs
The language and literacy demands of the CCSS are high
Address the full foundation of language skills and English Language Development (ELD) needed by ELs
Currently many ELs are not achieving proficiency on the California English Language Development Test (CELDT)
Strengthen and focus on high quality ELD and scaffolding strategies across the curriculum
The narrowing of the curriculum has resulted in weak content knowledge in social studies and science
Provide a full rigorous academic curriculum
Many ELs have only engaged with simplified texts which offers them little or no examples of academic language
Engage ELs with a balance of rigorous and scaffolded text
![Page 55: Simplifying Text Complexity Module 4. The Dilemma The difficulty in transitioning from high school to college and careers may be caused, in part, by a](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649e1b5503460f94b090df/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Meeting the Needs of Students With Disabilities
Challenges Meeting Student Needs
Lack of meaningful access to certain standards in both instruction and assessment based on their communication and academic needs.
Provide supports and accommodations to ensure that students receive multiple means of learning and opportunities to demonstrate knowledge
Lack of access to general education curriculum
Instructional supports for learning― based on the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)―which foster student engagement by presenting information in multiple ways and allowing for diverse avenues of action and expression
Lack of rigorous, standards-based goals on an Individualized Education Plans (IEPs)
An IEP that includes annual goals aligned with and chosen to facilitate their attainment of grade-level academic standards
