If you have a green-rated high-quality instructional resource (HQIR), embedded anchor texts have already been analyzed for text complexity. Utilizing the Text Talk Protocol may be a next step after completing this module. The Text Talk Protocol is designed to help educators hold “text talks” with each other that deepen understanding of a text’s complexity and of its layers of meaning—its big ideas/themes, issues and questions all before reading the text with students. These deeper understandings allow educators to leverage the authentic connections HQIRs make available between what is teachable in a text and the Kentucky Academic Standards for Reading and Writing.
