Why such an emphasis on close reading?

“Close analytic reading integrates and further develops many of the elements that are needed to support every student. This capacity for incorporating so many of the other strands in one set of activities makes close analytic reading essential.”

Standards Connection

•R.CCR.1: Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.

I. ACADEMIC LANGUAGE

Page 14: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

WHAT: More than vocabulary, terms, conventions and genres it is the language that is used in school to acquire new or deeper understanding of the content and communicate that understanding to others.

WHY: “Close attention to words, sentences, and language use within the context of the text’s unfolding ideas initiates students into the academic language essential to becoming an educated person.”

Page 15: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

Academic Language is:

the language used in the classroom and workplace

the language of text

the language of assessments

the language of academic success

the language of power

Page 16: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

Not so much taught…

but acquiredthrough interactions with complex texts and meaningful instructional conversations in which attention is drawn to the ways in which meaning relates to words, phrases, clauses in the texts.

(L. Wong Fillmore)

Three Dimensions of Academic Language

•Word/Phrase – Academic vocabulary, multi-meaning words, technical language• Sentence – Academic language at this level is characterized by grammatical structures, conventions, mechanics, fluency• Discourse – Oral and written. Could include lab reports, timelines, word problems, storytelling, sheet music

Page 18: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

Integrating Academic Language into Close Reading Instruction

Ask text dependent questions to clarify and build ideas in preparation for a conversation.

Do repeated readings to discover alternative ways to interpret text.

Establish a systematic coding system to use while close reading.

Try wide-angle reading that emphasizes the broader discourse and message-organization level of reading.

O’Hara, Pritchard, Zwiers

“An effective word study program raises students’ awareness of the power and beauty of words.”

II. WORD STUDY

Page 20: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

“Word study" is an alternative to traditional spelling instruction. It is based on learning word patterns rather than memorizing unconnected words.

Word Study and Close Reading

Page 23: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

III. FLUENCY

Page 24: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

“Fluency is reading like you talk, not too fast and not too slow, with expression and no sounding out. It’s also important to understand what you read.”

Page 25: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

Components to Fluency:

Word Accuracy Automaticity Prosody or Expressive

Reading

Page 26: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

Fluency and Close Reading

Using a meaningful passage in a close reading to practice fluency is a perfect opportunity to comprehend, savor language, and listen to the rhythm of a text.

Page 27: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

“Rereading and hearing rich text read aloud develops fluency. At the same time, it brings struggling readers and ELL students into the discussion on an equal footing rather than segregating them with simpler and too often, lesser texts.”

Page 28: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

“Close analytic reading integrates support and teacher guidance with tasks and culminating assignments done by students in small groups and independently. “

IV. LEARNING FROM TEXT INDEPENDENTLY

Page 29: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

Close reading itself cannot provide the volume of reading needed to acquire the lexicon of academic words and the background knowledge essential for all students to achieve academic success.

What it does, is change the way students read by providing the tools and developing the habits of mind that will allow all students to learn independently from the texts they read.

This will allow all students to successfully read the quantity of text needed to become fully college and career ready.

Learning from Text Independently and Close Reading

Page 30: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

Regular and systematic evidence based writing and speaking from sources. Using evidence from texts to present careful analyses, well-defended claims, and clear information.

V. EVIDENCE BASED SPEAKING AND WRITING IN ADDITION TO LISTENING AND READING

Page 31: Practicing within the Framework of Close Reading CULTIVATING EFFECTIVE LITERACY HABITS: Dr. Julie Joslin/ELA Section Chief/NCDPI

“Analytic reading lessons consistently integrate discussion of the text under consideration as well as multiple opportunities for writing using text evidence.

The lesson always culminates in a writing assignment that calls on the students to demonstrate understanding of the text under consideration.”
