Close Reading IsA Skill Needed on The New GA Milestones

ELA Assessment

12

From Assessment Update: Georgia’s Changing Assessment Landscape, GA Dept. of Ed. June 2014

Georgia Milestones English Language Arts [CC Georgia Performance Standards]– will require close analytic reading to construct meaning, make inferences, draw conclusions, compare and contrast ideas, themes, etc., as well as synthesize ideas and concepts across multiple texts – will require students to develop informative/explanatory responses or narratives, produce opinions/arguments – citing evidence from text(s) and using standard language conventions, etc.

Close Reading Defined

13

Close, analytic reading stresses engaging with a text of sufficient complexity directly and examining meaning thoroughly and methodically, encouraging students to read and reread deliberately.(PARCC, 2011, p. 7)

Page 15: What   Does   The   Text  Say?:

Close Reading IsDeep Comprehension

15

Authors thoughtfully select details, hoping that we, the readers, are listening. When we take the time to do so, as carefully as we listen to the people we love, we see the complexity of ideas that reach beyond the page and impact our lives.

Although it might seem as though skimming is the opposite of close reading (and in a way, it is), it is also a crucial skill for pulling information out of a text. Sarah Tantillo. “Skimming: The Overlooked Close Reading Skill.”

Close reading confessions

Page 35: What   Does   The   Text  Say?:

Close reading confession # 1

There’s more than one way to teach close reading (and apparently I am trying them

all!) My initial lessons were based more on the Beers and Probst Signpost lessons in

Notice and Note. Now, I am drawn to the close reading ritual found in Falling in Love

with Close Reading- Choose a lens, look for patterns, then develop new ideas.

35

I’m still learning how to teach this.

Page 36: What   Does   The   Text  Say?:

Close reading confession # 2My students don’t actually read the text. Instead they ______ (fill in the blank with a reading avoidance behavior.)

So I tried monitoring silent reading. This is something I’ve always done during guided reading, and it’s

great to keep everyone on task during close reading. It involves walking around asking students to whisper

read a section of text to me. This helps me manage and support struggling and reluctant readers.

36

Page 37: What   Does   The   Text  Say?:

Close Reading confession #3My students can Talk about the close reading text, but the writing about the text is a real struggle.So now I teach sentence frames.

These sentence frames can help scaffold students’ thinking-literally giving their thoughts a

running start so that they can just focus on the content and not on the syntax of their ideas.

Falling in Love with Close Reading, p. 42

37

One pattern Isee is _____ withwords like _____.

Page 38: What   Does   The   Text  Say?:

Sentence frames Point of view Brobow, R. (2011, October ). “Confessions of a teenage concussion queen.”Scholastic Scope, p.9

38

I think the author wants me to think that . . .

If the author was debating this topic, they would say . . .

The author doesn’t say anything about . . . which makes me think . . .

Some feeling words the author uses are __________, _____________, and __________, which tells me that the author probably feels . . . about the topic.

The author seems to believe that . .

Page 39: What   Does   The   Text  Say?:

Close reading confession #4

Some of the Complex texts I need students to read Closely are beyond My students’ skill level so I _____ . ( What do you do?)

39

Keep working on helping students read on a higher level, but I don’t abandon the suggested text because it is too hard.
