How to Teach Close Reading in your Classroom

Learning how to teach close reading can definitely be a little bit daunting. I remember when I first started researching how to teach close reading, I didn't have a clue what it was, how to teach close reading, or even when to do a close reading lesson. I was very confused.
But, what I did know is that learning how to teach close reading was going to be an integral part of my small group guided reading instruction to help my students become critical, contextual readers.
The best part was that when I integrated teaching close reading during my small group reading instruction, my students made tremendous gains in their reading growth.
So, take some time and really dive in deep to this training on how to teach close reading because I believe it will be an extremely beneficial instructional methodology to implement during your small group guided reading time.

Douglas Fisher was one of my teachers at SDSU. He is so knowledgeable and was one of my favorite instructors.

Hello Anna: Thank you for this helpful guide to implementing close and guided reading. I wonder how you schedule your EASE and writing instruction around this program schedule. I teach in a French immersion school so I have 5 ninety minute English literacy periods per week and struggle to fit everything in. Might you have a post or document that I may use as a guide for integrating and scheduling all of the components together? Thank you for your ongoing instruction, Tara

[@ambreenarbab]

Wow wonderful, can you please make a video of a complete day 1 then 2 and 3 plan

[@AnnaDiGilio]

thanks! I can definitely add it to my list :)

[@frboulwarejr]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this! Quick question: Are the students reading aloud (like they would in guided reading) or do you read the text to them and allow them to annotate while you're reading?

[@lisachai3591]

Where can we find your Close Reading bookmark? Is it on TpT? Loved the video- thank you ❤️

[@silverpledge2443]

What did you do on short weeks with holiday Mondays? How did you catch up on making words for your spelling, etc?

[@jillburton6335]

I do not see the workbook to download??

[@lindseyhammond2997]

Do you have a pdf of your lesson plan?

[@kristlewaye4157]

Yes, can you please provide a link to the lesson plan?

[@angelaventura7094]

Hi, I didn't catch where you mentioned how you do your first read. Do you read it aloud to the students while they highlight and annotate or do they read independently and do this on the first read?

[@oluyemisiogunbowale7711]

Are there video clips of this happening. I am more of a visual learner. I enjoyed your teaching and learning it seem easy, though.

[@AnnaDiGilio]

There is not currently a video showing close reading small groups at this time, so sorry about that - LAPREA TEAM

[@katies.1001]

Do we get close reading pdfs if we sign up for all the books on your website?

[@AnnaDiGilio]

Close Reading resources are provided on the Bloom plan of the Guided Readers site. I hope this helps.

[@AnaMartinez-mk3xm]

Hello. I can't download the workbook. Is there another way to get this before watching.

[@AnnaDiGilio]

Hey there Ana... I actually just clicked the link for the workbook in the description and it opened for me. I would try a different browser window. That is the only link I have to download the workbook.

[@user-pz9dl4ff6m]

Hi Anna is something wrong with the link for the sample close reading passage? When I click on it, it says something went wrong?

[@AnnaDiGilio]

Hey there, If you send an email to service @ SimplySkilledTeaching . com they can definitely help you out!

[@natashagabriel6344]

Sorry if I missed it, what grade do you teach again?

[@AnnaDiGilio]

[@Dorothyduffy126]

Hi Anna! I'm organizing a sharing session at my club and would love to have you as a guest speaker(online). Your experience in teaching would be invaluable to our members. Let me know if you're available and interested!
