New Literacies for New Times:
Preparing for Common Core State
            Standards

      Donald J. Leu and Elena Forzani
        Neag School of Education
        University of Connecticut
The Central Ideas

1.   What are the Common Core State Standards
     (CCSS) in Reading and Writing?
2.   How are we doing?
3.   A new assessment.
4.   How can we teach Common Core State Standards
     (CCSS) in Reading and Writing?
 A common system of developmental standards to
  inform instruction.
 Replaces Big 5 -- phonemic awareness, phonics,
  fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
 Emphasizes higher-level thinking during reading
  and writing AND preparation for important new
  online skills necessary in the 21st century.

technological society, students need the ability to gather,
comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report on information
and ideas, to conduct original research in order to answer
questions or solve problems, and to analyze and create a
high volume and extensive range of print and nonprint texts in
media forms old and new.

State Assessment Policies in Reading
Not a single state in the U.S.
measures...
      ...students ability to read search engine
      results during state reading
      assessments.
       ...students ability to critically evaluate
      information that is found online to
      determine its reliability.

                             This generations defining technology for reading.
Not a single state measures...

   ...students ability to compose clear and
    effective email messages in their state
    writing assessment.
   all students to use a word processor on
    their state writing assessment.*
                 *See Russell & Plati, 1999; 2000; 2001. They report
                 effect sizes of .57  1.25 for word processor use on MCAS.
                 See also Russell & Tao, 2004 who report 19% more 4th grade
                 students classified as Needs Improvement would move up to
                 the Proficient performance level with word processors.
Instruction: The Rich Get Richer
and The Poor Get Poorer

   Neglecting research into online reading
    comprehension perpetuates public policies that
    help the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
       63% of children from households earning more than
        $75,000 annually reported that they used the Internet
        at school, but only 36% of children from households
        earning less than $15,000 annually (Lazarus, Wainer,
        and Lipper, 2005).

What Does This Study Suggest?

   Achievement gaps in the new literacies of online
    reading and research may be substantially
    greater than with traditional reading between
    rich and poor.
   We may be at risk of losing students unprepared
    for the new literacies of online reading and
    research.
