An article written by Julie Ankrum (Department of Professional Studies in Education) was recently published in the Early Childhood Education Journal. "Complex Texts or Leveled Readers for the Primary Grades? Yes and Yes!" describes the current debate about the use of leveled readers during literacy instruction.

The article was written to shed light on both sides of the debate, and to ultimately help teachers integrate diverse instructional materials into their teaching repertoire.
