Close reading involves careful study of a short text passage – reading, re-reading and questioning the text. Through this process children deepen their critical faculty, which is also essential to help them question and understand their wider world. Each teacher’s book contains 20 suitably complex short texts for close reading, linked to key comprehension objectives and including a detailed introduction and examples of annotated texts.
