Text characteristics
Read the text – Stop a few times to invite thinking and a brief conversation. Students may turn and talk in
Discuss the text –Invite students to talk about the book. As students reflect on the meaning of the whole
text, guide them toward some of the key understandings and main messages of the text.
Revisit the text (optional) – You may want to revisit the book (on the same day or on subsequent days) to
reread it, or parts of it, so that students can notice more about how it is crafted and build a deeper meaning.
Respond to the text (optional) – Engage students in additional experiences to enhance their appreciation
and interpretation of the text, e.g., writing about reading, art, drama, and inquiry-based projects.
