Close Reading: An Instructional Strategy for Conquering Complex Text

Students from Kerry Meehan's third-grade class at World of Inquiry School #58 in Rochester, NY, experience a close reading lesson from the EL Education Language Arts Curriculum module (G3:M2A:U1:L2). The teacher guides students through the close reading process, checks for understanding, and leverages the power of student talk and collaboration to help them make meaning of a complex text.

I know a teacher that uses close reading in just about every lesson. Very important

12 months had already passed since we used this specific program, a reading manual. The reading knowledge of my very own girl has continually improved. Right now, she is now able to read a few textbooks. Not just that, she is a superb speller also. What’s even more exciting is she can writes sentences today. Research about this reading book on Google. The reading guide’s name is *4ChildrenReading. Com*

What were you doing before that was slowing them down? Or what methods were used that didn't' get results? I'm more keen on the mistakes that were made, rather than just the way things are done now. We have to learn from our mistakes, so we have to know what the mistakes were in the first place. I'd really appreciate either a reply here or even a video. If you'd like me to share my mistakes, I'm game for that too.

What a sad video. *This is NOT Close Reading!* ...and telling students, *“What GOOD readers do?”* is terrible message.

It`s already been 1 year since we started out reading tutorial *4ChildrenReading. Com* The reading skills of my little girl has consistently developed. She at this time reads beginning books and is also a fantastic speller. She even makes up brief stories and also writes sentences. ..
