Not in a very long while has a term been freighted with so much responsibility to pull every student out of a reading tailspin and into a great future of college and career readiness.

Yes, if we want our students to intimately understand a text′s ideas, we′ll need to make some shifts in our instruction. Fortunately, we now have Closer Reading to lean on as we go into higher gear.\n\nA former classroom teacher and professor of reading, Nancy Boyles is a literacy consultant, who provides workshops, model lessons, and curriculum support to districts and organizations nationally, regionally, and locally.
