Not in a very long while has a term been freighted with so much responsibility to pull every student out of a reading tailspin and into a great future of college and career readiness. Finally, here’s a book that tunes out all of the hubbub and gets down to the business of showing how exactly to \"get close reading right.\"    What makes Closer Reading such a have-to-have resource? Nancy Boyles knows full well that we’ll never realize the promise of close reading unless we figure out where it fits in with existing literacy practices. So she magnifies all the planning that goes into powerful close reading lessons, while providing a wide-angle lens to answer our biggest questions—top among them how close reading relates to text complexity and strategic reading comprehension.     Chapter by chapter, Nancy delivers astoundingly practical ideas on how to import close reading into daily planning, including how to:      Connect close reading with other instructional practices (whole class, read alouds, guided reading, conferring)  Select rich texts and plan for initial close reading lessons  Deliver initial and follow-up close reading lessons  Engage students in peer practice after close reading  Coordinate comprehension strategies and close reading  Use close reading to deepen students’ independent reading     Close—closer—closest. Yes, if we want our students to intimately understand a text′s ideas, we′ll need to make some shifts in our instruction. Fortunately, we now have Closer Reading to lean on as we go into higher gear.          A former classroom teacher and professor of reading, Nancy Boyles is a literacy consultant, who provides workshops, model lessons, and curriculum support to districts and organizations nationally, regionally, and locally. Over the course of her career she has received numerous awards , including New England Reading Association’s Outstanding Literacy Leader Award and Connecticut Reading Association’s Celebrate Literacy Award for exemplary service.           \"Closer Reading, Grades 3-6, will become a treasured friend and guide, as you will value every tip, model lesson, and complex book recommendation. It is a must-have book for your professional library and for professional learning communities!\"   —LAURA ROBB, Author of Unlocking Complex Texts","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49891868836113,"sku":"CIN1483304450VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50102571434257,"sku":"CIN1483304450G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1483304450.jpg?v=1751307694"},{"product_id":"lessons-and-units-for-closer-reading-grades-k-2-book-nancy-n-boyles-9781506326467","title":"Lessons and Units for Closer Reading, Grades K-2","description":"20 close reading, standards-based lessons and 80 follow-up comprehension skill lessons expertly scaffold young readers.

In Part I of the book Boyles explains the why behind the how of using picture books that share a theme as the basis for extended units, spelling out for teachers the difference between her brand of investigation and \"units of study\" which have common pitfalls.    In Part two of the book, she provides 10 text sets, each spanning about 15 pages that cover commonly taught themes such as leadership and survival.      Boyles has an intuitive sense of what teachers today need in order to improve, and this book gives them 10 text sets they can turn around and teach tomorrow, which is more than a year’s worth of quality instruction. In the CCSS era with big stakes tests looming, this book gets teachers to fast track top CCSS instruction and includes formative assessments to help teachers get a handle on student’s progressing skills as readers, thinkers, and writers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50633844850961,"sku":"GOR013355089","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50960849731857,"sku":"CIN1483375676VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52959188910353,"sku":"CIN1483375676G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1483375676.jpg?v=1751148460"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-nancy-n-boyles.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
