Close Reading
Anchor Standard 1:Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly
and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific text evidence when writing or speaking to support
conclusions drawn from the text.
What is your definition of close reading?What do you do when you chose to read closely?
What motivates you to read closely?

How do you see your students as readers?
How do they read?
How much support do they need?
When and what are they reading?

Strategy 1: KNOW/WONDER
Simple – Transferable
Makes thinking visible
Students are successful
Promotes independence

How to Steal a DogThe day I decided to steal a dog was the same day
my best friend, Luanne Godfrey, found out I lived in a car.

I had told Mama she would find out sooner or later, seeing as how she’s so nosy and all. But Mama had rolled her eyes and said, “Just get on up there to the bus stop, Georgina, and quit your whining.”

So that’s what I did. I stood up there at the bus stop pretending like I still lived in Apartment 3B. I pretended like I didn’t have mustard on my shirt from the day before. I pretended like I hadn’t washed my hair in the bathroom of the Texaco gas station that very morning. And I pretended like my daddy hadn’t just waltzed off and left us with nothing but three rolls of quarters and a mayonnaise jar full of wadded-up dollar bills.

Know / Wonder Strategy
What strikes you about this strategy?
… as a reader… for your students

Know / Wonder
Students grounded in text
Ideas are changed based on text evidence
Structure creates visible thinking while reading
Allows for independent work that can be built on

Tips to Introduce Know / Wonder
Teacher charts/Teacher modelsStudents try at places teacher stopsStudents revise wonders when prompted,
teacher charts
Gradual release 1. Students do more charting 2. Whole Group k/w 3. Student k/w and chart

Know/Wonder: Student Work
I tried keeping a journal once before, when I was twelve – writing is my favorite thing – but it didn’t work. I guess I didn’t have much to tell. But now I’m fifteen, going on sixteen and, believe me, this time is different. I’ll pretend I can see you – whoever you are reading this– and tell myself you’re really listening, not just waiting for me, Jenny Joslin to stop talking so much so you can start. The thing is I need you! I’m scared. Somebody has to listen.

Analyze Student WorkWhat did the student do well?
Did they identify the character, what the character wants, problems?
Did their wonderings grow out of the text?
What did they miss? Why?verbs, pronouns, vocabulary, words that convey emotion,
text structure…..
How well did they use the know/wonder strategy?
Next steps for this student?

Where my students had trouble
K/W great for beginning, but as story progresses students
needed a less tasking strategy

Strategy #2

![Page 18: Close reading2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/5561040cd8b42aff3f8b5680/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Development of the Strategy• Authors were middle school/university instructors
• Noticed students plowing through text with minimal reflection; dependent on teachers for thought
• Considered the Common Core’s emphasis
• Read 25 most commonly taught books grades 4-8
• Found common elements (signposts) in text
• Developed lessons for and questions connected to the “signposts”
• Lessons were tested with teachers and students throughout the country

Six Signposts*1. Contrasts and Contradictions-- When a character does
something that contradicts expected behavior
*2. Aha Moment-- When a character realizes, understands or figures out something
3. Tough Questions-- When a character asks herself a very difficult question
4. Words of the Wiser-- When a character (probably an older or wiser character) takes the main character aside and offers advice
5. Again and Again-- When you notice a word or phrase or situation mentioned over and over
6. Memory Moment-- When the author interrupts the action to tell you about a memory

Contrasts and Contradictions
When a character acts in a way that is different than you would expect.
Anchor Question:Why would the character act this way?
Your answer may lead to a prediction or an inference about plot or conflict

![Page 21: Close reading2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/5561040cd8b42aff3f8b5680/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
AHA Moment
When a character realizes something that changes his actions or his understanding of himself, others or the world around him.
Anchor question:How might this change things?
Your answer may lead to understanding the conflict or the lesson learned.

Strategy #3Anchor Standard #10 Range of Reading and level of Text Complexity -- Read and comprehend complex literary and
informational texts independently and proficiently.

Strategy #3:Reading Multiple Times with Purpose
1. First read: Students Read Independently2. First discussion: Partner talk to check meaning3. Second discussion: Assessing understanding4. Second reading: Teacher-led shared reading and think aloud5. Third reading: Text dependent questions
26

1. First Reading
Students read independently with a pencil
Circle/underline confusing parts
Note what they know/learned/wonder
28
![Page 29: Close reading2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/5561040cd8b42aff3f8b5680/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
2. First Discussion
Students discuss what they learned/know/wonder with a partner
Teacher listen in noting where troubles lie

3. Second Discussion
Have students share their thinking with whole group
30

4. Shared Reading
Teacher reads text
Students read along with copies of text
Teacher incorporates think aloud covering areas students struggled with
31

5. Third Discussion:Text Dependent Questions Teacher designed text dependent questions
Purpose of question is to encourage re reading and looking for text evidence
Two questions with “right there” evidence
Two questions that require inference or synthesis
32
![Page 33: Close reading2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/5561040cd8b42aff3f8b5680/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
“Right There” or Literal Questions for the Beyonce Article
1. Celebrities appear in a lot of advertising. How much is a lot?
2. You try it: Create a “right there” question.

Text Dependent Questions Requring Synthesis or Inference
3. How do you think Beyonce justifies selling soda?
4. You try it: Create a question that would require synthesis or inference

Next Steps: Debate• Teacher re reads the text with the purpose of
students developing a point of view• Students have the copy of the text• Students mark evidence to prove their position• After reading have students take a position then face
an opponent for debate• Provide time for each side to prove their point with
evidence from the text• Students rebut arguments by conferring with like
minded students• Journal or essay writing
