#9 What's wrong with leveled texts?  Aren't books just book?

Well yes, and no.  In this episode, Savannah discusses the issues with leveled texts.  She shares:

  • how leveled texts do not actually tell us if children are reading on grade level because they are an inherently flawed form of assessment
  • How leveled texts do not have a defined scope and sequence or take into account children's levels of background knowledge.
  • What we can do instead

    • If you're not sure why leveled texts don't deliver what they promise, or if you just want to confirm what you're already thinking about leveled texts, this episode is for you!
