Why Are We Worried About Novels?
Unbalanced emphasis on Lexile levels compared to student needs

What do the experts say?
Stephen Krashen: The author of The Power of Reading insists that the research indicates that the problem is poverty, not a broken public education system. Donalyn Miller: “No matter what standards we adopt or tests we administer, the children who read the most will always outperform the children who don’t read much.” (Tweet August 21, 2012)

What About Independent Reading?
It’s in there – but buried!
Appendix A – page 8“Students need opportunitiesto stretch their reading abilities but also to experience the satisfaction and pleasure of easy, fluent reading within them, both of which the Standards allow for. As noted above, such factors as students’ motivation, knowledge, and experiences must also come into play in text selection.”
