A MetaMetrics’ study begun in 2017 and completed in 2019 examined Spanish texts in Grades 1-12 from a sample of states where statewide textbook adoptions were common practice. The study confirmed that, like English text complexity, Spanish text complexity increases across Grades 1-12 and varies within each grade.
