College & Career Readiness Anchor Standard #1

Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to

support conclusions drawn from the text.

Page 18: Module 2A for Elementary Teachers Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy: Focus on Instructional Shifts.

K-5 Grade Level Standards Associated with CCR Reading 1

Grade K: With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in the text.

Grade 3: Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.

Grade 5: Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

Teachers Do This . . . So That Kids Can Do This

• Reread the text multiple times• See in the text what the standards

demand

Select complex text that addresses specific standards

• Text-based answers• Learn how texts are constructed

Read the text closely, identifying all the key

teaching points

• Learn how to learn from the text itselfCreate text dependent

questions and experiences

Page 38: Module 2A for Elementary Teachers Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy: Focus on Instructional Shifts.

What is Close Reading?

38

Close reading requires a substantial emphasis on readers figuring out a high quality text. This "figuring out" is accomplished primarily by reading and discussing the text. Because challenging texts do not give up their meanings easily, it is essential that readers re-read such texts. Thus, close reading is an intensive analysis of a text in order to come to terms with what it says, how it says it, and what it means.

~Timothy Shanahan

Creating Text-Dependent Questions

Phase 1: Read the text closely before creatingtext-dependent questions

Step I: Identify the core content understandings and key ideas

Step 2: Identify vocabulary and

language structures for

focus of questions

Step 3: Identify hard sections for

focus on questions

Creating Text-Dependent Questions

Phase 2: Create coherent sequences of text dependent questions

Step 4: Create text-dependent questions,

starting with easier ones

Step 5: Specify the lesson standards

associated with the questions

Step 6: Create the culminating

assessment aligned to the standards

Based on Guide to Creating Text-Dependent Questions. http://www.achievethecore.org/

Page 41: Module 2A for Elementary Teachers Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy: Focus on Instructional Shifts.

Text-Dependent Questions

•Alice in Wonderland: How would you react if you saw a talking rabbit?

• In “Casey at the Bat,” Casey strikes out. Describe a time when you failed at something.

•The Talking Cloth: Did you ever take a trip to a far-off country? What did you bring back from your trip?

How did Alice react when she saw the talking rabbit?

What makes Casey’s experiences at bat humorous?

We just learned that the cloth originated in Africa. Why does the author include this information?

Writing is the Neglected “R”

43

“Writing today is not a frill for the few, but an essential skill for the many.”

Report of the National Commission on Writing in America’s Schools and Colleges (2003)

And that was 10 years ago!

Page 44: Module 2A for Elementary Teachers Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy: Focus on Instructional Shifts.

Reading & Writing Go Hand in Hand

“When reading and writing instruction include significant opportunities for students to write about text, students have the potential to improve not only content knowledge, but also skills in reading comprehension.”

Graham & Hebert, 2010Based on a meta-analyses of 93 studies of writing instruction

Page 45: Module 2A for Elementary Teachers Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy: Focus on Instructional Shifts.

Only 25% of students in grades 8 and 12

demonstrated proficient or advanced

performance on the 2011 assessment.

Wide disparity of performance

of males and females

Purposeful Writing EmphasizesWriting to Sources

46

Increase attention to writing that requires use of evidence from texts• Careful analyses• Well-defended claims• Clear information

Narrative writing to convey personal experience is still

important, but comprises far less of instructional time than does argument and

informational writing

Page 47: Module 2A for Elementary Teachers Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy: Focus on Instructional Shifts.

Frequent Opportunities to:

47

Use technology to produce, collaborate &

share writing

Conduct research that integrates reading, writing

Why is text complexity so important?

57

• Huge gap between complexity of college and high school texts.

• What students can read, in terms of complexity, is the greatest predictor of success in college. (ACT, 2006)

• Too many students are reading at too low a level.(<50% of graduates can read sufficiently complex texts)

• Florida Standards emphasize increasing text complexity from elementary through high school. They also focus on building both general academic vocabulary & domain-specific vocabulary as critical to comprehension.

Page 58: Module 2A for Elementary Teachers Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy: Focus on Instructional Shifts.

58

• Levels of meaning or purpose• Structure• Language conventionality & clarity• Knowledge demands

Qualitative

• Word length or frequency• Sentence length• Text cohesion

Quantitative

• Variables specific to particular readers such as motivation, knowledge, and experiences

• Variables specific to particular tasks such as purpose and complexity of the task assigned and questions posed

Academic Vocabulary

60

“Words are not just words. They are the nexus - the interface - between communication and thought. When we read, it is through words that we build, refine, and modify our knowledge. What makes vocabulary valuable and important is not the words themselves so much as the understandings.”

Adams, 2009, p.180

Page 61: Module 2A for Elementary Teachers Florida Standards for ELA & Literacy: Focus on Instructional Shifts.

Research recommendations to improve academic language

Explicit teaching of academic

vocabulary within text

context.

Focus on general

academic language (Tier 2 words) that are

in common word families, but unfamiliar

to some students; 90% words across

content areas.

Provide multiple

exposures to new

vocabulary.

Do not ignore discipline-

specific vocabulary:

10% of words in academic

texts are unique &

unfamiliar to most students

(Tier 3).

Focus attention on

grammatical structures

(e.g., figurative language) in

context.
