What needs to be present in our
classrooms to achieve
COMPLEX READING?
Question #1: Are students reading?
Question #2: If so, is it for homework only?
Question #3: Is the text at an appropriate level?
Question #4: Is the chunk and task assigned to
students able to keep them engaged and closely
reading?

How is text complexity defined in CCSS?
◦ Readability measures using word length or
frequency, sentence length, text cohesion
(for example, Lexiles)
◦
◦
◦
◦
Levels of meaning
Text structure
Language conventionality and clarity
Knowledge demands
◦ Reader variables (motivation, knowledge, experiences)
◦ Task variables (purpose, complexity of the task assigned)

Text-Based Evidence:
Facilitates rich and rigorous
evidence-based discussions
and writing about common
texts through a sequence of
specific, thought provoking
and text-dependent
questions (including, when
applicable, questions about
illustrations, charts,
diagrams, audio/video, and
media).
Content contained is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License
Creating Text-Dependent Questions
Step 1 Identify the core understandings and key ideas of
the text.
Step 2 Start small to build confidence.
Step 3 Target vocabulary and text structure.
Step 4 Tackle tough sections head-on.
Step 5 Create coherent sequences of text-dependent
questions.
Step 6 Identify the standards that are being addressed.
Step 7 Create the culminating assessment.

from texts to produce clear

informs, explains, or makes
an argument in various
written forms (notes,
summaries, short
responses, or formal
essays).

3 Tiers of Words
– Highly specialized, subject-specific; low
occurrences in texts; lacking generalization
◦ E.g., lava, aorta, legislature, circumference
–Abstract, general academic (across
content areas); encountered in written language;
high utility across instructional areas
◦ E.g., vary, relative, innovation, accumulate, surface,
layer
– Basic, concrete, encountered in
conversation/ oral vocabulary; words most student
will know at a particular grade level
◦ E.g., clock, baby,
Common Core State Standards, Appendix A, page 33
Activity: Which Tier is It?
1. Work with a partner
or small group.
2. Take out the words
from the envelope.
3. Place the words
under tier 1, 2 or 3.

Question of the Day
What must be going on in each classroom in
order to align our multi-day lessons/units to
the EQuIP rubric?
Reading
Writing
Content contained is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License
Research is Clear
The only way to become a better reader is to
read.
The only way to become a better writer is to
write.

Reading and Writing
They go hand in hand!
Content contained is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License
What can be done?
Be cautious about how
much content is covered
in the classroom.
Increase the amount of
reading and writing in
the classroom.
"The only way you will know
that your students read every
day is to watch them read
right in front of you."
(Miller, 2009)

Balanced Assessment
Balance assessment is the strategic use of
