Standard 10 defines a grade-bygrade “staircase” of increasing text complexity that rises from beginning reading to the college and career readiness level. Whatever they are reading, students must also show a steadily growing ability to discern more from and make fuller use of text, including making an increasing number of connections among ideas and between texts, considering a wider range of textual evidence, and becoming more sensitive to inconsistencies, ambiguities, and poor reasoning in texts" (Common Core State Standards, 2010, p. 8). ===

For consideration:
What is the relationship between the College and Career Readiness Standards and the Common Core Standards? After reading through the anchor standards and the grade level standards, consider what makes the Common Core common.

ORGANIZATION AND GOALS OF THE COMMON CORE LITERACY STANDARDS


= LEXILE FRAMEWORK = == College, Careers, and Citizenship: Steady or Increasing Complexity of Texts and Tasks "Research indicates that the demands that college, careers, and citizenship place on readers have either held steady or increased over roughly the last fifty years. The difficulty of college textbooks, as measured by Lexile scores, has not decreased in any block of time since 1962; it has, in fact, increased over that period (Stenner, Koons, & Swartz, in press). The word difficulty of every scientific journal and magazine from 1930 to 1990 examined by Hayes and Ward (1992) had actually increased, which is important in part because, as a 2005 College Board study (Milewski, Johnson, Glazer, & Kubota, 2005) found, college professors assign more readings from periodicals than do high school teachers. Workplace reading, measured in Lexiles, exceeds grade 12 complexity significantly, although there is considerable variation (Stenner, Koons, & Swartz, in press). The vocabulary difficulty of newspapers remained stable over the 1963–1991 period Hayes and his colleagues (Hayes, Wolfer, & Wolfe, 1996) studied" (Common Core Standards, Appendix A. (2010). National Governor Association Center for Best Practices and Council of Chief State School Officers. p. 2). ==

= ANALYZING THE STAIRCASE OF CC STANDARDS = Questions for discussion: What knowledge and thinking skills are new within each grade-specific standard? What knowledge and thinking skills are implied as already mastered within each grade-specific standard? How do the grade level standards staircase from 1st to 5th grade? How do the grade level standards staircase from 6th grade to 12th grade?
