Reading Standards include exemplar texts (stories and literature,poetry, and informational texts) that illustrate appropriate level ofcomplexity by grade

Text complexity is defined by:

2. Quantitative measures – readability and other scores of textcomplexity

3. Reader and Task – background knowledge of reader,motivation, interests, and complexity generated by tasksassigned

Unpacked – what do students really need to

know, do and understand

How do I ‘unpack’ a standard?

Look closely into the standard and identify what students need to:

Know - InformationDo - formative assessment – how do you

know they know?Understand – What is the enduring

understanding? The big idea that is transferable to other learning

Unpacking Standards - Example

Explain the relationships or interactions between two or more individuals , events, ideas, or concepts in historical, scientific, or technical text based on specific information in the text.
