Why Teach Close Reading Skills?

Close reading is required in the English Language Arts Common Core reading standards for all grade levels (K-12). In these standards, repeated readings and discussions of a text guide students through levels of understanding and inquiry. Students are expected to:

  • Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly
  • Make logical inferences from their interactions with text
  • Cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text

Close reading is a strategy that helps students independently comprehend increasingly challenging texts in order to become college and career-ready. These strategies mirror the structure of the Common Core standards. Implementing close reading ensures a standards-based and multi-leveled approach to your instruction.

 

About this close reading resource:

These high-interest, engaging, and curriculum-based topics come with differentiated reading comprehension passages for grades 3-4 and 4-5. Each passage is written at 2 different levels to allow for differentiation during instruction. The content of the 2 passages is the same, and the text-dependent questions are the same. However, the reading levels are different. This makes it easy for you to provide students with the same questions and activity sheets while also allowing students to practice close reading skills on their reading level.

 

⭐Note: Each close reading passage is leveled with special symbols at the bottom left corner to denote difficulty levels.

 

Perfect for:

  • morning work
  • literacy centers
  • reading stations
  • whole-group work
  • small group work
  • independent desk work
  • early finishers
  • homework
  • summer school
  • remediation
  • test prep
  • sub plans – and so much more!
