What is independent-level text?

  1. Text that is too easy for the reader

  2. Text that requires minimal reader skills for comprehension

  3. Text the reader can navigate without assistance

  4. Text typically read with guidance

The correct answer is: Text the reader can navigate without assistance

Independent-level text refers to material that a reader can engage with and understand on their own, without requiring support or assistance. This level of text is suitable for readers who have a firm grasp of reading strategies and skills, allowing them to navigate through vocabulary, comprehension, and textual features independently. The other options describe different levels of text difficulty or support needs. For instance, material that is too easy does not challenge the reader and provides little opportunity for growth. Text that requires minimal reader skills for comprehension suggests that the content is very basic, which aligns more with instructional or guided reading rather than independent usage. Lastly, text typically read with guidance indicates a need for support, which is contrary to the notion of independence in reading.
