About the Close Reading Classroom Workshop
The CORE Close Reading Classroom Workshop is based on the Common Core State Standards. This two-day interactive workshop that uses modeling, mini-lectures, guided practice, and various activities to demonstrate the close reading skills that students need to become strong text critics. Participants will learn routines for teaching close reading and the appropriate ways to introduce and guide students through and beyond the close reading process with both literary and informational texts. Throughout the two-day workshop, instructors will demonstrate how to incorporate various close reading methodologies, including discussion, writing, and self-reflection, into the lessons, and exemplar texts will provide extended practice for participants and serve as models for direct classroom use.

Testimonials
"The service provided by your staff consultant has been extremely important to our program's improvement. Without her knowledge, expertise, and gentle leadership, we would not be in the positive place that we are today. We are looking forward to working with her again next school year."
– Robert P. Zaccaria, Program Specialist,
Seba Dalkai Boarding School, AZ
"CORE has provided a framework of thinking about literacy. With the development of common language, teachers and students are talking the 'same language.' The coaching for the principal who is 'coachable' is phenomenal and has the potential to move a leader to the next level."
– Sheila Smith-Anderson, Executive Director of Leadership Development,
St. Louis Public Schools, MO
