Donalyn Miller is a 6th grade language arts teacher in Texas who is said to have a "gift": She can turn even the most reluctant (or, in her words, "dormant") readers into students who can't put their books down.


"While identifying readability can be useful when evaluating textbooks, guided reading texts, or other teaching materials, selecting books for classroom instruction and recommending books for independent reading are two different processes."

Common Core State Standards: Visualizing English Language Arts #ccchat #ccss #commoncore #edchat | Common Core & You | Scoop.it

I like this ELA Common Core website published by North Carolina Public Schools because besides displaying the anchor standards, it's easy to see the increase in difficulty as students move to the next grade level. It covers all ELA standards, K-12.  Bookmark this to use later; it's a lot easier than flipping through the PDF doc.
