Close reading is more than text-dependent questions! Spend an engaging and thought-provoking day with Chris Lehman who will support you with practical methods for teaching the skills of deep analytical reading in ways that enchant students and transfer to their independent work. You will study methods of facilitating thoughtful conversations about texts that make student learning visible and provide ongoing opportunities for using this authentic assessment in your reading instruction. Chris will help you think practically about the role of text-complexity in your classroom and parse out reading achievement fact from fiction. You will learn structures that lead to independent close reading habits and avoid the common classroom pitfall of students superficially reading and rereading. Ultimately, you will consider ways of broadening this study beyond texts, seeing how reading anything closely - from popular music to conversations with friends - can be eye-opening and empowering.
Program Highlights:
• Understand what close reading is and is not. Understand the role of close reading historically, what the Common Core State Standards say (and don’t say) about the practice, and what this means for your instruction.
• Learn methods for close reading that transfer across narratives, informational and argumentative texts, poetry, media and life. Discover ways of structuring your teaching so students develop habits they can carry across the variety of texts they read.
• Study close reading fundamentals and ways to build to more sophisticated work. Chris will share student work and close reading practices used in
upper elementary through high school and help you imagine a progression of development that match the needs of your students.
• Take opportunities to assess student growth and make instructional decisions. Studying student talk and writing about reading, you will see ways to take
quick accounting of your students and decide upon next steps.
• Plan how close reading will fit into your reading instruction. You will take with you suggestions for weaving close reading into your instruction in ways
that support student growth while still balancing the richness of your curriculum.
