In the online course “Close Reading & Text Dependent Questioning,” educators will gain valuable insights and strategies to help struggling readers improve their reading comprehension and build important reading habits. Research has shown that the complexity of texts students read is the greatest predictor of success in both college and the workplace. Unfortunately, many students struggle with texts written at their grade level, resulting in lower reading comprehension levels.
Through this course, teachers will learn the practice of Close Reading and how to implement it effectively to increase reading achievement. Close Reading involves a careful and analytical examination of texts, focusing on understanding the deeper meaning and employing text-dependent questioning. By developing these skills, teachers will empower their students to better comprehend complex texts and become more college and career-ready.
This course provides bite-sized and relevant learning modules, ensuring that educators can easily incorporate these practices into their teaching routines. Additionally, the course offers ready-to-use lesson plans, activities, and visuals, enabling teachers to start implementing these strategies immediately in their classrooms.
