GRADE 8: MODULE 1: UNIT 1: RECOMMENDED TEXTS

The list below includes both literary and informational texts with a range of Lexile® text measures about Vietnam and the fall of Saigon. This provides appropriate independent reading for each student to help build content knowledge about this topic. It is imperative that students read a high volume of texts at their reading level in order to continue to build the academic vocabulary and fluency that the Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS) demand. Note that districts and schools should consider their own community standards when reviewing this list. Some texts in particular units or modules address emotionally difficult content.

Where possible, texts in languages other than English also are provided. Texts for the Grade 8 modules are categorized into four Lexile measures that correspond to Common Core Bands: Grade 4–5 band, Grade 6 band, Grade 6–8 band, and above 8th Grade. Note, however, that Lexile(R) measures are just one indicator of text complexity, and teachers must use their professional judgment and consider qualitative factors as well. For more information, see Appendix 1 of the Common Core State Standards.

Common Core Band Level Text Difficulty Ranges: (As provided in the NYSED Passage Selection Guidelines for Assessing CCSS ELA) • Grade 2–3: 420–820L • Grade 4–5: 740–1010L
