#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!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
