We have a full house today of teachers K-12 grade attending the Close Reading session. We are going to focus on:
- How to select a balance of texts that prepare students to read challenging fiction and non-fiction at their level
- How to teach students to read texts above their “comfort zone”
- Learn to write text-dependent questions for both narrative and expository genres, and how to provide entry-points for all children through visual media, and annotation
- How to incorporate writing as part of a rigorous close read
