How to Choose Complex Texts for Your Content Area

2/4/2014

 
Are you struggling to find complex texts for your science or social studies class?  The Common Core states that students should be reading complex texts, but how do you know whether or not you have chosen a challenging or complex text?  Typically when people hear “complex texts” they think of choosing a text with a higher readability level, however, there are various other factors to take into consideration when choosing an appropriate complex text for your students.


1.       Choose a text with both challenging or unfamiliar domain-specific words as well as academic vocabulary.  Typically the domain-specific words found in science and social studies texts are complex, so you may need to focus more on finding a text with unfamiliar academic terms.
