Important Considerations
The term “text,” as it is used throughout the Language Arts Framework, is defined as “a segment of spoken or written language available for description or analysis.” For the purposes of this document, text may include written materials, teacher read or taped passages, visual images, or film.

Important Considerations
While competencies for grades K-3 remain identical, objectives require an extension of knowledge and broader, deeper application of skills. A critical component at each grade level is text complexity. Text complexity is indicated by such elements as sophistication of language, content, and syntax. As students move from kindergarten to grade three, texts should require a greater cognitive involvement by the student in order for the student to appreciate and comprehend the meaning and beauty inherent in language.

Types of Texts
The MLAF 2006 identifies three broad groups of texts. These are the same categories identified by NAEP. Literary Fiction Literary Nonfiction Informational Texts

Considerations for Selecting Texts for Reading
Following the focus of ACT Reading and the NAEP Grade 8 Assessment, it is recommended that language arts teachers work to shift the emphasis from literary passages to informational passages as suggested in the following chart.
Grade Literary Informational
4 50% 50%
8 45% 55%
12 30% 70%

Using Key Words from Texts
Older students should be encouraged to identify the main idea of a story by identifying important words and phrases in a text.
Teachers should model the strategy for students before asking them to complete this activity on their own.

Using Important Words to Find the Main Idea
Just like whales, penguins have a layer of fat under their skin called "blubber". Overtop of this they are covered with fluffy "down" feathers and overtop of those they have their outer feathers which overlap to seal in warmth. Penguins rub oil from a gland onto their feathers to help make them waterproof and windproof. Even so, penguins often need help to stay warm. In photos and video, you'll often see groups of penguins huddled shoulder to shoulder with their wings tight against their body keeping each other warm. As many as 5,000 penguins will bunch together to warm each other up.
