What the Standards Do
Value in Reading comprehension…
“close, attentive reading”…”critical reading”… “reasoning and use of
evidence”… “comprehend, evaluate, synthesize”… “understand
precisely…question…assess the veracity” …. “cite specific evidence” … “evaluate others’ point of view”…
“reading independently and closely”…
What the Standards DoN’t Value in Reading comprehension…
These phrases are NOT in the Common Core…
make text-to-self connections, access prior knowledge, explore
personal response, relate to your own life…
Time – In & out of Text
More instructional time spent outside the text means less time inside the text. Departing from the text in classroom discussion privileges only those who already have experience with the topic. It is easier to talk about our experiences than to analyze the text—especially for students reluctant to engage with reading.

“Definitions, as an instructional device have substantial weaknesses and limitations. Definitions do not teach you how to use a new word and do not effectively convey concepts. Think of it this way: Why isn’t a glossary of biological terms an adequate substitute for a biology textbook?” (Nagy, 1989) “…thus knowing a word cannot be identified with knowing a definition.” (Nagy & Scott, 2000)
• All these steps in 1 day (5-10 minutes)

Literary Text
Or
Informational Text
So What?
Critical Reading… …is a way of looking at a book and
analyzing what the author is saying and
the methods the author [and
illustrator] are using to communicate a
message or idea. Your analysis is
complete when you have formed your
own interpretations of the
author’s intentions.

Look at the illustration on page 8, and explain what the author’s purpose was for writing “Sometimes [Grace] could get Ma and Nana to join in, when they weren’t too busy?”
Why does Grace “keep her hand up” twice, even though her friends continue to tell her she can’t be Peter Pan?
When Grace told her mother what happened at school, what was Ma so angry about?
What did Nana want Grace to learn by taking her to the ballet that day?
