Preparing Students for Complex Texts

Preparing Students for Complex Texts supports teachers in making meaning of texts so that they are able to support students to do the same. This session focuses on concrete steps for how to analyze a text for complexity to promote comprehension. Through this process, teachers learn how to determine the extent to which the text and task will be challenging to students based on their specific needs and how to plan scaffolds or enrichments accordingly to ensure all students can access and deeply comprehend complex texts.
