Many of our literacy standards can be addressed in an ongoing manner, without waiting for a specific unit. Close reading is one of them. Teachers can address close reading strategies throughout the year in language arts as well as across the curriculum in subjects such as science, social studies and the related arts. The goal is to teach students how to read complex texts and synthesize that information with other sources by:
-having students read independently -having students annotate -modeling for students by reading aloud -guiding students with tiered text dependent questions regarding key ideas and details, author's craft and structure, and integration of knowledge and ideas - rereading in between each set of questions -having students discuss their answers and their supporting evidence Here's more information as well as resources on close reading - http://guidedreadingsbs.weebly.com/close-reading Here is a poster of the steps for close reading for your classroom. - FYI...I am starting my writing workshop and writing across the curriculum blog. Here you will also find quick, easy, and useful resources. You can subscribe at Happy New Year to existing and new guided reading blog readers! I will continue to provide quick, easy, and useful literacy resources here. Need some simple activities to include in your guided reading instruction? Here are a few…enjoy! http://www.leb.k12.in.us/StaffSites/boyetts/files/guidedreading/GreatGuidedReadingIdeas-2ndgrade.pdf |
