COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts Text Exemplars

What are text exemplars?

Text exemplars are sample texts intended to guide educators as they thoughtfully select texts to use as vehicles for teaching the ELA Common Core State Standards (CCSS). While the texts serve as models for each grade span, they should not be considered required grade level reading lists. Students must read a wide variety of texts in order to progress in their reading development. Teachers should select texts of various genres and range of complexity for use with their students allowing students to both read at ease and stretch to higher levels of complexity. Students must be challenged and supported with appropriate texts, and teachers should guide students through close readings of short pieces of quality text. How these documents are organized The documents are divided into the following sections:

• Sample texts available in the public domain free of charge • Sample texts available from online sources (prices and ISBN information provided) • Bundles of sample texts with additional resources for use with the Common Core Curriculum Maps (prices and ISBN

information provided) http://web.me.com/acaciatc/UACC/ELA_Mapping_Project.html

How to use these documents This document provides specific ordering information for the sample texts found in the CCSS to supplement and organize your existing classroom libraries. The NCDPI strongly encourages local districts to use these text exemplars only as guideposts when selecting texts for students. These exemplars will help gauge your understanding of what is appropriate for a given grade span. All of these texts do not need to be read in their entirety. Information about how to determine the complexity of texts and grade span placement can be found in the CCSS Appendix A, (pg. 8-‐16).
