I am looking for a very difficult reading passage to share with my teachers as
something concrete for "Any reader can look like a struggling reader when the
text is too hard" (Fountas & Pinnell, 2009). I have searched for chemistry and
engineering passages but end up with a page from Amazon's reader that cannot be
printed. Has anyone ever been given something like this before?

I have used some selections from technical manuals, especially ones that are
based in a computer language or installing a program. These passages are also
"fun" to use for on-demand reading for fluency.

I've used passages from financial pages or legal papers to show how intelligent
adults need to backtrack, stop & think, etc. When text is difficult. Also,
maybe sports like rugby or cricket, which needs background info not common to
most of us. Sheila

In regards to all this, take a difficult passage and print it out as
portrait view, then as landscape view, and see what happens to
comprehension. Could add column view.

We had a faculty book club on a book about brain research. It was very
technical, with unknown vocabulary, and very scientific. Many of us became
authentically aware of how reading strategies are essential.

I looked for the article that I had used previously, but I can't find where I
saved it. I downloaded a medical journal article about an innovation in
neurosurgery. Then, when teachers couldn't re-tell what the article was about,
I said "Oh come on,
you're reading teachers. This isn't brain surgery." (But it was!)

I would pick a passage not intended for teachers if you want it to be hard.
Look for a?chemistry journal, auto mechanics intructions, latest physics
research...
