Description
Reduce Prep Time! Use it every week... all year!
Close Reading is a critical, but often difficult skill to teach (and to learn!) This close reading assignment and rubric combo will make it easier! I have designed it for students to complete a different reading assignment each day to determine the meaning in an informational passage or book (main idea, cause and effect, sequence).
Use this assignment for homework or in class, and cut down on the amount of prep time. Use with any informational book, nonfiction leveled reader, and/or reading passage.
Take a look at the preview pages to see what is included in this resource.
Keep parents actively involved by having them sign the rubric. Without the signature, the highest score a student may earn is an 80%. Parent involvement increases and grades rise when students use it consistently. I included one that doesn’t require a signature so you can easily use it during school as well.
Suggestions for Use
★ Use in conjunction with your reading book.
★ Use as writing prompts for journals.
★ Use in guided reading groups and literature circles as discussion prompts.
★ Use as prompts for partner discussions.
★ Choose one to display on the document camera for the whole class to use as a prompt.
