Читать книгу Lessons and Units for Closer Reading, Grades K-2 - Nancy Boyles - Страница 15

 As you prepare for and deliver an initial close reading, remember that your goal is twofold: to build students’ understanding of the book’s content and to get students ready to dig deeper when you return to the text with a more specific focus (for example, examining the author’s point of view or elements of the text’s structure).

 Remember that our ultimate goal is for students to read authentically, the way we read, appreciating how all parts of a text work together. Let these authentic motives drive the text-dependent questions you ask and the points you discuss, rather than allowing a reading strategy to “drive the bus.” For instance, we don’t pick up a book, a newspaper, or a magazine and say to ourselves, “I sure hope I can visualize today.” No, instead, our reading is driven by the text, not by a particular “objective” that has been predetermined for us. We want students to read this way, too, to get as much from a text as they can the first time around. Indeed, we want them to read closely to experience the many wonderful facets of a text.
