Whatclosereadingisnot!

•The major difference between this framework and guided reading, shared reading, or read-aloud frameworks is that the teacher does not provide a lot of background information for the reader other than an initial purpose for the first reading.

•The rationale is that teachers need to give children the opportunity to focus on the text alone during the first reading instead of relying on pre-reading information from the teacher.

Examine the text dependent question level your group is assigned.

Create a group poster that

1. defines your level of text dependent questions.

2. describes the information obtained from this level

3. describes why this level of questioning is important

Pay close attention to the intersection of standards with the assigned phase of close reading

Group 1: What does the text say?

Group 2: How does the text work?

Group 3: What does the text mean?

Group 4: What does the text inspire you to do?
