  3. What is the text complexity rubric? • Intended to assist educators in evaluating multiple dimensions of a text in order to determine the proper placement of that text within the curriculum. • The rubric addresses the three aspects of text complexity required for consideration in Common Core Appendix B: • qualitative, • quantitative • reader/task match

  4. Scoring • 80 - 100 POINTS: EXTREMELY APPROPRIATE TEXT CHOICE • 50-79 POINTS: ACCEPTABLE TEXT CHOICE • 25-49 POINTS: RECONSIDER OR CHANGE GRADE/PURPOSE OF THIS TEXT CHOICE • 0 - 24 POINTS: ELIMINATE OR CHANGE GRADE/PURPOSE OF THIS TEXT CHOICE
