Analysis of Text Complexity

Examine and reflect on ready-to-use reports that reveal the ranges and variety of your texts to support differentiation in your classroom or library.

List Analysis Reports provide immediate insights into text complexity and reading levels within a list or collection. Reports also offer data about genre, cultural, and curricular classifications, and recency of publication date.

These insights can be accessed by selecting the List Analysis Report link at the top of any list on TeachingBooks:

To analyze a larger collection or create your own custom booklist, use our Collection Analysis Toolkit.

Due to the crowdsourced nature of the rubrics, the qualitative data in any List Analysis Report is dynamic. We invite you to submit your own rubrics for the titles on your list and rerun the report to see the updated measures.


Implementation Strategies
Ensure that your classroom or library lists and collections are balanced and comprehensive by using these tools during your selection process.

Review and share your customized List Analysis Report with colleagues or in presentations.
