Summary
Close reading is analytic reading to better comprehend complex text. It involves looking into the text itself to extract key concepts from literary and informational texts. This can be taught as early as the elementary level, through three suggested strategies:
- Create text dependent questions
- Student generated questions
- Observe and analyze
Samples and sequences are provided to guide the reader in this practical and easy-to-implement article.
