a

Grade

Text
complexity
takes
into
account
three
factors:
• Qualitative
evaluation
of
the
text:
Levels
of
meaning,
structure,
language
conventionality
and
clarity,
and
knowledge
demands
• Quantitative
evaluation
of
the
text:
Readability
measures
and
other
scores
of
text
complexity
• Matching
reader
to
text
and
task:
Reader
variables
(such
as
motivation,
knowledge,
and
experiences)
and
task
variables
(such
as
purpose
and
the
complexity
generated
by
the
task
assigned
and
the
questions
posed)
You
will
find
more
information
on
text
complexity
within
the
body
of
the
standards
(two
pages
that
follow
the
K‐5
and
the
6‐12

ELA
standards)
and
in
Appendix
A
(research)
and
Appendix
B
(illustrative
texts)
which
were
not
included
