Session Objectives
• Understand the need for various type of reading within a school day
• Experience and assess integrated learning that is building toward mastery of a standard
• Understand the role of text complexity in the Next Generation CSOs
• Analyze an informational and literary text using the qualitative rubric
• Zero in on Close Reading
Predominate Focus
Prior Standards Next Generation Standards
K 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th
Students will……quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
…refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
…ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.
…ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.
…ask and answer questions about key details in a text.
…with prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.
Standards-Based Lesson DesignExample:
• Standards, Standards, Standards
• “Performance” as evidence
• Tool for evaluation• Student personalization• Checkpoints
Non-Example:• Go to the next text chapter• Teacher idea and then map
to standards• Cute• The kids will like it!
• Standards as a to-do list, to be checked off
Comprehension
Fluency
Vocabulary
Syntax
Language Standard in Context
What we know:
• Students must have more than surface-level exposure to words. (Most weekly word lists are surface-level.)
• We must plan for direct and incidental vocabulary instruction. (Are we purposeful with all of our time?)
Text Sets
• Open “Wonders of Nature 2-3” from Day 1 folder.
• With partner, use text evidence to determine what a text set is and how it might be used.

Informational vs. Literary TextInformational Text Literary Text
Biographies and autobiographies Stories – folktales, legends, fables, fantasy, realistic fiction and myth
History/social studies books Dramas
Science and the arts Poetry – nursery rhymes, limericks, etc.
Technical texts (directions, forms)
Digital sources on a range of topics

Text Complexity
14Source:
Overview of Text ComplexityText complexity is defined by:
2. Qualitative measures – levels of meaning, structure, language conventionality and clarity, and knowledge demands often best measured by an attentive human reader.
1. Quantitative measures – readability and other scores of text complexity often best measured by computer software.
3. Reader and Task considerations – background knowledge of reader, motivation, interests, and complexity generated by tasks assigned often best made by educators employing their professional judgment.

Measures such as:• Word length• Word frequency• Word difficulty• Sentence length• Text length• Text cohesion

Step 2: Qualitative Measures
Measures such as:• Layers of meaning• Levels of purpose• Structure• Organization• Language conventionality• Language clarity• Prior knowledge demands• Cultural demands• Vocabulary
`
Close Reading Steps
1. Students read story to self 2. Teacher reads story aloud3. Teacher asks text dependent questions• Students defend their answers by finding
evidence to support their answers from the text (tell page number and restate where it was found)
4. End with a text dependent writing prompt.
