Professional Learning Communities

What is a PLC?
 
“A Professional Learning Community (PLC) is educators committed to working collaboratively
in ongoing processes of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the
students they serve. PLCs operate under the assumption that the key to improved learning for
students is continuous, job-embedded learning for educators.”
 
—adapted from Learning by Doing

Reading
 Learning to read is an essential skill, and comprehending information from text is necessary for school and career success.  Common Core Standards align reading expectations with the following chart. Lexiles are a measure of text complexity and students should strive to read and understand materials at the designated levels.  This does not mean to discourage reading at other levels.  Lower level books develop fluency and vocabulary, while higher level books stretch reading ability and challenge comprehension.  The key is to read . . . A LOT!  Books, magazines, web-sites, labels, manuals, directions, etc. are all ways to expand reading aptitude.

Grade Expected
Band Lexile Band*
 K–1 N/A
 2–3 420L–820L
 4–5 740L–1010L
 6–8 925L–1185L
10-Sep 1050L–1335L
11–CCR 1185L–1385L
The Common Core Standards advocate a "staircase" of increasing text complexity, beginning in grade 2, so that students can develop their reading skills and apply them to more difficult texts. At the lowest grade in each band, students focus on reading texts within that text complexity band. In the subsequent grade or grades within a band, students must "stretch" to read a certain proportion of texts from the next higher text complexity band. This pattern repeats itself throughout the grades so that students can both build on earlier literacy gains and challenge themselves with texts at a higher complexity level. Lexile measures and the Lexile ranges above help to determine what text is appropriate for each grade band and what should be considered "stretch" text.

Helping Students Select Books to Read
At this site you can enter either a grade level, or lexile level for a list of appropriate books.  It will even allow you to select interest areas.
 If you put the title or author of a book in the "Quick Book Search" box you can see the Lexile Level of a book you already have.  This is a very informative site.
