We've all heard the terms, standards and text complexity, but what do they mean…really? Confusion and misconceptions surround standards and text complexity. See what text complexity is, why paying attention to it is important, and why coaching students with relevant strategies is vital to student growth and confidence in reading. We will focus on qualitative and quantitative measures as well as address the importance of text sets.
