ASCD: Free Webinar About Close Reading

Whether they're reading literature or instructional texts, students need to develop the skill of close reading to thoughtfully analyze and evaluate while reading. 

What does close reading instruction look like in your classroom, and how can teachers of all subjects fit in close reading instruction into their schedules? 

Attend this free webinar by authors of the ASCD book A Close Look at Close Reading, Grades K–5 to find out. 


Engaging Students in Textual Analysis 

Diane Lapp, Barbara Moss, Maria Grant, and Kelly Johnson will share how to teach close reading in ways that support readers methodically reading and rereading a text as they focus on its structure, language, and content to deeply comprehend its message. 

They will include lesson scenarios that emphasize how the practice of close reading supports the development of speaking, listening, and writing skills.
