Читать книгу Lessons and Units for Closer Reading, Grades K-2 - Nancy Boyles - Страница 23

Beware of random close reading lessons! It’s easy enough to locate appropriately challenging texts, even for the primary grades, and to use them here and there to teach the kind of thinking required by close reading. But is that all we want our close reading instruction to accomplish: building kids’ capacity to think more deeply about text? We can aim higher! We can help our students become close readers so they can use this thinking to build for themselves a more complex knowledge base across diverse areas of study—for example, science topics like the solar system and engineering, historical periods and cultures around the world, and themes such as the meaning of compassion or trouble with friends.
