Close Reading with Nonfiction

One of our goals this year is to be able to read and comprehend grade level text, both fiction and nonfiction. We have worked to be able to identify nonfiction text features like captions, headings and diagrams. The students are also learning how to do a close read and to be able to provide text evidence to answer comprehension questions.

We use our highlighters to locate key words and information. The students are also learning how to annotate a passage.





We also work to learn new vocabulary in a variety of ways.




Ask your child about any activities like these that come home and practice close reading as often as possible!
