A DISTRICT PERSPECTIVE: SCAFFOLDING TEXT COMPLEXITY FOR AT-RISK READERS
by Tara Boyer


Perhaps the increased rigor of the common core will help us to eradicate the gap between those students who are reading at grade level and those who are not.


Even so, the process will not be immediate.


And while I support the common core, I also realize that not all students will be able to read independently at the lowest level of the text bands without scaffolding, let alone at the high end of the text bands.
