K-5 have a grade level copy of this book to help us better understand close reading. The book has important information regarding close reading as well as grade level band question sets for close readings. There are also QR codes which link to videos at the end of each chapter.

In the Kg video please note that she could have included more opportunities for "Turn and Talk" But the modeling of asking deeper questions is great!

I have created a presentation for the close reading using a SMORE from CCLI training.
I would be glad to show you more about building a SMORE. SMORE is free and web based. SMORE is great because it helps to guide your lesson by having all of the resources available for the teacher and or the student to access various links, videos, etc without having to enter long URL codes. It can help the lesson to stay focused and allow students to work at their own pace.
Please contact me if you would like to create a SMORE for your lesson!
