Close Reading

We have been studying Vermont History during Social Studies. 

Literacy and subjects such as social studies are incredibly intertwined. Below, fourth graders are doing an excellent job working on a 'close reading' of the text Vermont: The State With a Storybook Past. 

They first read the text, then they return to it and make it their own! This means highlighting, underlining, writing in the margins, asking questions, making connections. Fourth graders are wonderful close readers! Reading can teach us so much!
