The Common Core College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards state that, "students must read widely and deeply from
among a broad range of high-quality, increasingly challenging literary and informational texts."

This resource provides 8 research-based strategies that will assist you in planning for your Close Reads of either literature or informational texts. Each strategy card can be posted on your Interactive White board, hung in your classroom as an anchor chart, or minimized to be blued into the interactive notebooks. Students will love the collaboration and they will be better equipped to respond in writing citing text evidence.
