5th Grade Reading Comprehension Worksheets

AO Lexile Reading Ratings AmblesideOnline List member Anabel posted this to the list; she graciously allowed it to be re-posted on the website. I pulled this together for a conversation I was having with a friend, and I thought other folks might find it interesting too. Not all the books on the AO lists are scored on the Lexile site, but enough were in Years 1 through 3 to make this interesting. I'm not trained in this or anything, but I'm looking at this as being useful both as reading-comprehension level and as listening-comprehension level. I know my daughter can listen and comprehend higher level books than she can read; this is just interesting to see where that falls. And, honestly, it's no wonder kids doing AO can read the amazing literature listed in years 7 and up. Have fun! Here are some ideas of what the numbers mean: 500-600 Third Grade 600-800 Fourth Grade 800-900 Fifth Grade 900-1000 Sixth Grade 1100 Ninth Grade 1200 Eleventh Grade 1300 Twelfth Grade/College Freshman 1400 College Junior 1500+ Graduate Level

The "Lowering of academic standards and expectations" in the US and “Dumbing down of the standards and curriculum” left many students unprepared for careers or college as critiques have argued. Common Core assessments are designed in part to redress this inequality! Most of the Common Core assessments follow the standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).

Reading Units and Lesson Plans Aligned with Common Core I received an email from a teacher working in a situation similar to mine: students who are deficient in basic skills, a lack of useful resources in the classroom, misdirection or no direction from the top. This teacher found the resources on this website to be a tremendous help in reaching her instructional goals, but inquired specifically as to how I sequenced the instruction. This motivated me to create this page. This page offers free reading and English language arts lesson and unit plans aligned with Common Core State Standards. This is the same core sequence of units and lessons that I follow with my seventh and eighth grade reading classes to prepare them to succeed on standardized tests and in high school; however, with a few tweaks I’m sure that these plans could be used in almost any classroom. Overview of Unit Plans Rationale: Why I Sequence My Instruction in The Following Way Fortunately for me and my students, we have access to a literature textbook. 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. 3. 1.

Common Core Standards Make a Mockery of Novels' Complexity Here’s a pop quiz: according to the measurements used in the new Common Core Standards, which of these books would be complex enough for a ninth grader? a. Huckleberry Finn b. c. d. The only correct answer is “d,” since all the others have a “Lexile” score so low that they are deemed most appropriate for fourth, fifth, or sixth graders. Lexiles were developed in the 1980s by Malbert Smith and A. Last week the Thomas B. But missing from this debate is the question of whether the idea of the Lexile makes sense at all. I also pass St. To be fair, both the creators of the Common Core and MetaMetrix admit these standards can’t stand as the final measure of complexity. Few would oppose giving teachers better tools to challenge students, but this approach seems badly flawed. Any attempt to quantify literary complexity surely mistakes the fundamental experience of literature. I try to teach my students to balance such complexities.
