Vocabulary and Close Reading

This resource provides educators with strategies to improve students' vocabulary acquisition and close reading skills, focusing on Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary. Key techniques include using "paint chip" vocabulary, identifying academic and domain-specific words, and implementing signposts for effective text analysis. Learn to engage students in discussions by utilizing metacognitive markers, posing thoughtful questions, and employing contrast and contradiction strategies. This aligns with Common Core State Standards for grades 6-8, fostering deeper comprehension through critical text evidence analysis.
