Common Core State Standards:Shifts in English/Language Arts• Increase reading of informational texts• Increased text complexity of reading texts as
measured by lexile level• Focus on academic vocabulary within context of
texts• Emphasis on text-dependent questions and
performance tasks• Connect writing to reading with frequent
opportunities to research information• Provide literacy instruction in all content areas
Let’s examine the
rationale for two specific
shifts!

Increase reading of informational texts
Did you know…• Most of the required reading in college and workforce
training programs is informational in structure and challenging in content; postsecondary education programs typically provide students with both a higher volume of such reading than is generally required in K–12 schools and comparatively little scaffolding?
• Approximately 50% of CA students who have qualified for a 4-year university and who take an English Placement Test (EPT) fail to qualify for freshmen composition?

What is meant by increased text complexity?
• “Lexile” is a way of measuring how difficult a text is to read based on sentence length and word frequency.
• The higher the lexile rate, the more complex the text is to read independently.
Let’s examine HOW these
shifts affect your child!
