Description
We take for granted that content literacy requires more than just the ability to read. Students must be equipped with a variety of tools to help improve their reading and comprehension. In Literacy in the 21st Century – Strategies for Teaching Literacy, Katherine McKnight, Ph.D., breaks down these tools and provides practical strategies for helping students develop close reading skills to improve their literacy.
This course will cover:
- What is close reading?
