Description
The
flip side of the reading coin is reading comprehension. This can occur
alongside students learning how to read. The fifth grade Close Reader provides grade
level reading selections for young readers to start exercising their
reading comprehension muscles. 30 guided lessons introduce 5th grade
students to different reading samples like myths, nonfiction, persuasive
essays, poetry, technical text, and more. Each selection starts with
background information and then the guided reading selection. Students will
be asked to identify and articulate meaning and what is happening in the
text. Advancing this skill by citing their text sources. Questions start to
flex that critical thinking muscle and guide students into deeper reading
understanding. There is designated vocabulary development throughout. The pacing
is left to the student, but you can aim for one lesson a week allowing
the student to work with the selected text for a whole week. There is no answer
key or teacher support that aligns with the Close Reader in the elementary
levels. Instead, this would allow for great discussion time over what the
student is reading and responding to. Space is provided for student responses.

Category Description for HMH Journeys Reading Grade 6
Supplement your 6th grade reader with reading comprehension and guided reading with the Close Reader or add practice for 6th grade ELA skills (spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and writing) with the Reader’s Notebooks. There is not a Teacher’s Edition at this level for either the Reader’s Notebook or Close Reader. Adding something so simple as guided reading equips students to understand the ‘why’ behind learning how to read. Both the Close Reader and the Reader’s Notebook contain 30 lessons, and these can be used independently of each other. ~Rebecca
