What is Close Reading?

It is the first two words of the first set of anchor standards in the

Common Core.
R.CCR.1 Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical
inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support
conclusions drawn from the text.
Close reading is when students dissect, analyze, investigate and scrutinize text. The students
examine word choice and examine how a text is organized.

Key Features:
Short Passages
(More Read Alouds on the first read in the primary grades)
Complex Texts
Limited frontloading of vocabulary and
connecting personal experiences
Repeated Readings for different purposes
Text Dependent Questions focusing on Main Idea,
arguments, key details, vocabulary, text structure, authors
purpose, inference, and opinion
Text Coding/Marking: Read with a pencil.
Bring in the annotation as early as kindergarten by using
Wiki Sticks with Big Books. Copy a page or two of complex text
for text coding purposes.

Close Reading
Procedure Sequence
Prep: Select a short, complex text passage.
Create TDQs!
st
1 Reading to Discover the text and what it says:

Hook/ Set purpose for reading. Use props when you can.
Students read text independently w/ pencil (code text-Show and
Tell Thinking and underline difficult words, circle confusing parts)
Teacher zooms in on students having difficulty. Optional: Conduct running
records, record anecdotal evidence, phonics mini-lessons.
Discussion: Parrot Paraphrase, Super Summarize.
(Require modeling at first.)

Fiction: Describe characters and their response to the events in the story or
plot.

2 nd Reading to Discover how the text works:

Teacher reads aloud and thinks aloud.

Questions, TDQs, Detect and Analyze

Use context clues for word meaning (Possible lead in to Word Study or
Structural Analysis)
Examine story structure
Text features
Main purpose of text
Authors purpose for writing text
Points of view
Dialogue

3 rd Reading to discover what the text means:

Students read to Be the Judge and Evaluate.
Analyze graphics, connect with other texts, self, world and
