Close Read practice

We’ve been learning how to do a close read, which is reading and re-reading text for deeper comprehension by identifying not only main ideas, supporting details, and vocabulary, but also uncovering the layers of meaning over the course of the text. I’ve modeled the process twice as we completed two non-fiction passages together.

Today, students worked with a partner to do their own close read while I worked with groups individually to observe their understanding.

Next step...independent work!

Thank you to Father Ernie and Deacon Joseph for taking an interest in our work.
