Common Core Literacy The new benchmarks increase emphasis on: Close/Attentive Reading Critical Thinking About the Text/Higher “Cognitive Demand” Determine Author Purpose or Bias Formulate & Defend Opinion Identify Claim vs. Assumption Higher Level Reasoning Make logical inferences Analyze the structure of texts Compare and contrast treatments of the same topic Reading Informational Texts “[The benchmarks are based on an] assumption that literacy is a shared responsibility.” “Common Core State Standards Webinar."

- 9. Why Focus on Reading? According to Doug Lemov, author of Teach Like a Champion, ―Reading is the skill. Teaching students to unlock the full meaning of the texts they read is the single most important skill a teacher can foster. If your students can read well, they can essentially do anything.‖ Lemov goes on to make the case that ―If you teach, no matter the subject, you have the opportunity and the obligation to ensure that your students read more (and better). This opportunity will result in their being both more informed regarding the topic of your instruction and more effective assimilators and analyzers of information – better readers – in the future. It’s a double investment paying both short- and long-term results.‖ Lemov, Doug. Teach like a Champion: 49 Techniques That Put Students on the Path to College. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2010.

Status Quo Statistics are Grim • ―The American Institutes for Research (AIR) reports that only 13% of American adults are capable of performing complex literacy tasks.‖ • ―The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) shows that secondary school students are reading significantly below expected levels.‖ • ―The National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) finds that literacy scores of high school graduates have dropped between 1992 and 2003.‖ Publication. NTCE Principles of Adolescent Literacy Reform. National Council of Teachers of English, Apr. 2006. Web. 29 Aug. 2010. <http://www.ncte.org/library/NCTEFiles/Resources/Positions/Adol-Lit-Brief.pdf>.
- 11. …Getting Worried Yet? The National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) reports a continuing and significant reading achievement gap between certain racial/ethnic/SES groups. The Alliance for Excellent Education (AEE) points to 8.7 million secondary school students— that is one in four—who are unable to read and comprehend the material in their textbooks. The 2005 ACT College Readiness Benchmark for Reading found that only about half the students tested were ready for college-level reading, and the 2005 scores were the lowest in a decade. Publication. NTCE Principles of Adolescent Literacy Reform. National Council of Teachers of English, Apr. 2006. Web. 29 Aug. 2010. <http://www.ncte.org/library/NCTEFiles/Resources/Positions/Adol-Lit-Brief.pdf>.
- 12. Too Many of our Students Struggle with Reading Comprehension ―The ability to read and understand complicated information is important to success in college and, increasingly, in the workplace. An analysis of the NAEP long-term trend reading assessments reveals that only half of all White 17 year olds, less than one-quarter of Latino 17 year olds, and less than one-fifth of African American 17 year olds can read at this level.‖ ―By age 17, only about 1 in 17 seventeen year olds can read and gain information from specialized text, for example the science section in the local newspaper.‖ ―This includes: 1 in 12 White 17 year olds, 1 in 50 Latino 17 year olds, and 1 in 100 African American 17 year olds.‖ Haycock, Kati and Sandra Huang, Are Today's High School Graduates Ready?, Thinking K-16, Vol. 5, Issue 1, The Education Trust, Washington, DC, 2001.
- 13. More Reading Can Help Close Achievement Gaps. “People who are undernourished need good food. Readers who are under- nourished need good books. Lots of them.” Gallagher, Kelly, and Richard L. Allington. Readicide: How Schools Are Killing Reading and What You Can Do about It. Portland, Me.: Stenhouse, 2009. Print. Page 32
- 14. Content Area Literacy is Key Again, according to Doug Lemov, ―…Untapped opportunities to read more effectively occur throughout every corner of the building…The overall value of the additional high-quality reading you could do in a typical school day could equal or possibly exceed the value of what happens in designated reading classes. When you stop to consider how much high quality reading students might do outside reading class, the untapped potential is massive, but for now, most students simply don’t read much.‖ He goes on to explain that…‖We are what we have read and how we read it, and no other single activity has the capacity to yield so much educational value. And yet students in many schools spend precious little time actually reading. Likely, they read for less than an hour a day. Even in their reading or literature classes, they are as likely to talk about a reading or respond to what they may (or may not) have read as they are to actually read.‖ Lemov, Doug. Teach like a Champion: 49 Techniques That Put Students on the Path to College. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2010. Print. Pages 250-251
- 15. Common Core Reading The new benchmarks redefine what our students should be reading… 1) They call for a dramatic increase in informational reading. • 4th Grade: 50% Literary 50% Informational • 8th Grade: 45% Literary 55% Informational • 12th Grade 30% Literary 70% Informational 2) They call for a dramatic increase in the “lexile” difficulty of student texts.

Methods of Increasing Critical Thinking • Self-monitoring: “Focused instruction can teach students how to consider their own understandings of a text and learn how to proceed when their understanding fails‖ (Bereiter and Bird, 1985). • Interpretation and Analysis: “A successful program of literacy education enables students to dissect, deconstruct, and re-construct texts as they engage in meaning making‖ (Newmann, King, & Rigdon, 1997). • Multi-disciplinary: “Critical thinking takes slightly different form in each discipline, and effective instruction for adolescent literacy helps students develop capacities for critical thinking in each discipline‖ (Greenleaf et al.,2001). • Technology: “Many adolescents are drawn to technology, and incorporating technology into instruction can increase motivation at the same time that it enhances adolescent literacy by fostering student engagement‖ (Merchant, 2001).
