Reading nonfiction texts using the close reading strategy can be tough-but our kiddos have done a wonderful job diving into a text! They have practiced using context clues to figure out meanings for new vocabulary, determined the most important details, written the gist of the text, and drawn conclusions about why the author included certain details. As a follow up, we are working on responding to constructed response questions in a complete paragraph by restating the question, including text evidence that supports our answer, and writing a conclusion.
