"Readers will explore text complexity and all its various parts: quantitative measures, qualitative values of literary texts, and qualitative aspects of informational texts. While reading the first four chapters, I was reminded of our responsibilities for designing and planning instruction. As a result, my copy is filled with stars, asterisks, and sticky notes. . . . In Chapters 5–9, teachers will find a wide range of tasks designed to help students read complex texts with competence and confidence.
Students in my Content Reading are using this book for reference, discussion, and documentation. They have found it invaluable; I concur.
