Close Reading of Complex Texts

Grades 3–8

The consumable Student Worktext includes curated, related texts sets for every unit. Students will be guided to:

  • Read complex texts three times, annotate text, take notes, and answer text-dependent questions
  • Apply self-monitoring strategies
  • Analyze and synthesize across texts citing textual evidence

The wrap-around Teacher’s Edition provides scaffolded supports to streamline the instruction process, including:

  • A Getting Started unit that outlines the consistent framework for close reading
  • Guidance for each text set: reading level, structure, language
  • Text-dependent questions, modeling of strategic thinking, discussion prompts, and writing prompts
  • Genre study ideas to explore aspects of unit texts
  • Opportunities for partner talk and collaboration
  • Formative assessment and rubrics
