Complexity Of Text Complexity Of Thoughtthoughtfull English Language
The English language is composed of 40 phonemes, which combine to form around 100,000 different morphemes, which then combine to form over 1,000,000 different words and derivations (Meyers 384). In order to handle all of these words in a structured and organized manner, we develop rules and patterns to create a standard method to communicate. The Standards provide grade-specific text complexity requirements. These complexity requirements are spelled out in Figure 4 on page 10 of Appendix A. Essentially, text complexity is defined in grades or grade bands. By the end of the year, students should read and understand proficiently texts that fall within these ranges.
