Close Reading“Close reading highlights the central role the text
should play in understanding what it means.” Source: Close Reading and the CCSS, The Colorado Education Initiative
In other words, we need to teach a student to wrestle with a text to squeeze its meaning from the words, phrases and imagery on the page and not from the teacher telling the student what it means.
Students must be challenged to arrive at their own understanding. By doing so, they own their understanding.

In order to teach with text a teacher needs to:
• have a good understanding of the text• know of its origin and the events surrounding its
creation• recognize key language features of the text• compel students to draw out their own
interpretation of the writing through responding to meaningful questions that require citing evidence from the text

Conducting a Close ReadFirst read – Origins & Content – read only information about the text to determine time, place, author, etc…
Second read – Meaning – entire passage, seek the main idea of the text, don’t spend time on difficult words
Third read – Argument – identify and examine the argument and its strengths and weaknesses
Fourth read – Evaluate – using notes from previous reads come to conclusions about the significance of the text, its value in its place in history and today
