Читать книгу Lessons and Units for Closer Reading, Grades K-2 - Nancy Boyles - Страница 11

By high-quality picture books, I don’t mean those really basic-level readers used for guided reading. As you’ve probably recognized yourself, there just isn’t enough content and ideas in them for kids to sink their teeth into during close reading. Instead, our go-to for close reading is picture books that offer plenty of qualitative complexity with thought-provoking themes, variation in structure, sophisticated language, and forays into corners of the world and times in history that inspire students to stretch their thinking along with their imagination. These books showcase the written word at its best, and they provide fabulous graphic support readers can use to make meaning.
