Develop critical, analytical readers through a teacher-led, interactive, close reading experience in a small group setting! Our Close Reading Small Group Kits include the tools you need to model close reading strategies and deep thinking along with the text and hands-on resources your students need to develop a repeatable close reading routine.
Three Reads
With the aid of the Focus Prompt Wheel, students read each model text 3 times. Each read helps students develop a specific skill as they dig deeper into the meaning of the text.
