#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!
