Are "just right" books right for the Common Core? In the 1990s, much of the fireworks in the education policy debate centered around a “reading war” where supporters of whole language squared off against the forces of phonics. Now, in the Common Core era, I predict a similar firestorm is on the horizon. Only this time, the debate will not be about how to teach students to read in the first place, but rather how to help them build knowledge and improve comprehension over time. More specifically: It’s about how to choose the books you are asking students to read. And the outcome of this debate could go a long way towards deciding the long-term impact of CCSS ELA standards. There are two camps in debate over how to select and assign texts. The prevailing view among many educators in the United States today is that the best way to improve student reading comprehension is to assign lots books that are “just right” for individual students. Makes sense, right? Not necessarily. Enter the Common Core.

Is Reading in Kindergarten the Means for Ensuring College and Career Readiness? » TextProject Posted by Freddy Hiebert on 3 August 2011 Elfrieda H. Hiebert TextProject & University of California, Santa Cruz “K–12 reading texts have actually trended downward in difficulty in the last half century” (Common Core State Standards (CCSS), Appendix, A, page 2). In the case of kindergarten texts, this statement is blatantly false. The inclusion of kindergarten in this blanket statement about text difficulty represents an implicit assumption about beginning reading that also requires consideration—that earlier is better. The dumbing-down of kindergarten texts The CCSS writers cite two sources for the dumbing down conclusion: Chall (1967/1983, 1977) and Hayes, Wolfe, and Wolfer (1996). Further, neither Chall’s nor Hayes et al.’s analyses included kindergarten texts. In 1990, two independent analyses verified the absence of kindergarten textbooks in core reading programs (Hiebert & Papierz, 1990; Morrow & Parse, 1990). The pushing down of formal reading instruction References Chall, J. Chall, J.
