READING AND MATH STRATEGIES FOR STRUGGLING STUDENTS
Reading Closely, Writing Concisely to
Respond
Six Shifts in ELA
What is Close Reading? Close reading is thoughtful, critical analysis of a text that
focuses on significant details or patterns in order to
develop a deep, precise understanding of the text’s form,
craft, meanings etc. It is a key requirement of the Common
Core State Standards and directs the reader’s attention to
the text itself. Obtained from http://nieonline.com/tbtimes/downloads/CCSS_reading.pdf

Close Reading Process
Students read the text silently. Teacher provides a purpose.
Teacher reads the text aloud/models thinking.
Students read again and annotate/create questions.
Students find explicit meaning, inferences, central
ideas, and themes
High-light unknown/significant
words Write/ask
questions
Definition
Constructed response is a general term for items that require the student to
generate a response as opposed to selecting a response. Constructed response
items require more elaborate answers and explanations of reasoning. They
allow for multiple correct answers and/or varying methods of arriving at the
correct answer.
Examples of skills required on constructed response tasks include, but are not
limited to:
• English Language Arts
– Utilize close analytic reading
– Compare and contrast ideas and themes
– Synthesize ideas and concepts across a single or multiple texts

RACE Strategy for Math Math Word Problem
R Restate the
Question
Did you restate the question in your
own words?
A Answer the
Question
Did you answer the question
completely?
Did you label your answer?
C Cite Evidence Did you cite evidence by showing your
work?
E Explain the
Answer
Did you explain how you solved the
problem?
What strategy did you use?
Solve this using RACE
Joshua has 32 donuts. He organizes them
in boxes. Each box holds 12 donuts. How
many boxes of donuts will Joshua have?
What are text dependent questions?
