Question 1
Close Reading to me is all about
going back into a text and making observations, looking closely at something
that I might have breezed over in my first read. With students it might be something I want
them to notice or wonder about.
Question 2
As a first grade teacher, a powerful
close reading instruction is allowing the students to re-read a small portion
of the text and to ponder the meaning of the text. I want them to wonder, question, and infer. I want to guide their thinking with deeper
questions that make them begin to wonder.
Not always easy with beginning readers! (Or small dogs wanting your full attention!)
Question 3
At this point I have used a limited
amount of close reading. My students
struggle with basic reading skills, so Digging deeper is not always feasible;
however next year, I plan to make lessons more meaningful and add the close
read as a regular part of my reading instruction.
