]]> 2016-12-18 02:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/karenblake/closereading/wish/144196546 What is Close Reading? (As recommended by Fisher and Frey (2014) karenblake https://padlet.com/karenblake/closereading/wish/144196564
  • The first read in elementary grades is done by the teacher. The first read in the middle grades is done by the student.
  • Rereading (repeated reading) is done by the teacher multiple times and a variety of ways (teacher/student, independently, small groups).
  • Text dependent questions with who, what, when, why, how, explain, look at the figure again, and compare should be included during a close read.
  • Response to text should include any of the following: drawing, writing, researching, investigating, letter writing, summarizing. It can be completed independently or collaboratively with other students.
  • Student engagement should include extended discussions and text-based questions.

    10 Finger Summary: After a reading of the text, students construct a summary, no longer than 10 words, to share with the class.
    Sticky Notes: Use a variety of notes for note-taking.  Yellow notes "This is somewhat confusing to me."  Green notes "This makes perfect sense to me."  Purple notes "This is the most important part of the story."  Your class can determine the meanings for each note.
    Dot and Jot: Provide students with color dots.  Ask a question.  Students reread to locate answer and place a "dot" (removable label) near the answer.  Visually scan the group and then have the students "jot" down their answer in their own words.  They can jot directly in the margin of the text, on a sticky note, or on scratch paper.
