Text Complexity: Join the Conversation

In these webinars, we facilitate discussions about Text Complexity using rubrics from the TeachingBooks Toolkit. How do the purpose, text structure, language features, and knowledge demands all impact the reading of a text? We also consider the ways in which the author, speakers, and/or events in the text contribute to the inclusion of diverse voices.
