Close reading encourages in-depth text study while fostering the critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills necessary for the twenty-first century. With the help of Close Reading Passages, students read passages on a common subject while reflecting on a Key Question. They then take part in small-group and class discussions. With the use of Close Read Passages worksheets, students are led through many readings of a single passage while being guided through four layers of in-depth debate and questioning, from a surface comprehension of the text to a deeper understanding.
Printing our worksheets for close reading passages out and giving them to students to discuss in groups or teams is the most effective method of studying this topic, which provides students time to read the passage again and again, point out the remarkable information, and solve the questions together.
