Where to find Complex Text

ReadWorks provides a wealth of complex texts, many of them informational texts that provide deeper level questions.

Newsela provides complex text that can be searched by lexile level.

Text Project was started by Elfrieda H. (Freddy) Hiebert to bring beginning and struggling readers to high levels of literacy through a variety of strategies and tools, particularly the texts used for reading instruction. This is a fantastic resource through and through!

Tools to Support Reading Comprehension

Rewordify is one of the main tools I used to provide an alternate source of feedback to students. It provides a guided practice setting, a great next step after your whole group instruction around a text.

Vocaroo is a tool that allows students to record their reading, questions, vocabulary definition or partner discussion. They can then save and share with teachers, peers, and parents

5 Finger Retell is a solid tool that I used during the first part of my research. It gives students a frame for how to retell complex pieces of text. See my Research Paper for more on the success of it paired with other tools.
