  1. Reading with a Pencil Strategies for Close Reading

  2. Wherever and whatever I read, I have to have a pencil, not a pen—preferably a stub of a pencil so I can get close to the words, underline well-turned sentences, brilliant or stupid ideas, interesting words and bits of information, and write short or elaborate comments in the margins, put question marks, check marks and other private notations next to paragraphs that only I—and sometimes not even I—can later decipher,” p. 57. From The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction, by Alan Jacobs

  3. As defined in the CCSS Literacy Standards… • Literal reading “determine what the text explicitly states” • Inferential reading “make logical inferences from [the text]” Components of Close Reading

  4. The CCSS-Literacy espouses ACTIVE reading: • Draw conclusions • Compile textual evidence • Determine central ideas • Analyze development of central ideas • Interpret words or phrases • Analyze text structure • Assess point of view Actions associated with close reading

  5. Focusing the reader • First Draft reading • “Lay of the Land” • What the text “explicitly says” • Second (and third) Draft reading(s) • Analysis of various aspects of the text • Teachers or students set purpose • Collaboration • Metaphorical Response • Reflective Response Kelly Gallagher’s DeeperReading

  6. Before reading activities that prepare the reader for the text Examples: Anticipation Guide, Possible Sentences, Story Impressions, Knowledge Rating Chart Focusing the Reader

  7. Reading to get the gist of the passage. Framing Routine Selective Highlighting Structured Note Taking Proposition/Support Outline First Draft reading

  8. Involves re-reading at the sentence-level to deepen understanding. Structured Note Taking Proposition/Support Outline Jigsaw Reading Guides ReQuest Second Draft Reading

  9. Discussion fosters deeper comprehension. Structured discussion even more so. Collaboration

  10. Tying the meaning made to an image deepens comprehension and leaves the reader with a powerful impression to remember. Metaphorical response

  11. Students fossilize their thinking as they record in writing what they have understood. Exit slips Double-Entry Journals Reflective response
