Close Reading (sometimes called Repeated Reading) describes the      careful, sustained interpretation of a brief passage of text. Research      links the close reading of text to significant gains in reading.      The careful study of a short text passage helps build a deep,      critical understanding of the text. Children learn to comprehend      text, analyse, synthesise and critically examine information.             SERIES INFORMATION      Short Reads are deliberately short to focus children on      purposeful reading, re-reading and responding. Children learn about      the topic through rich vocabulary development and deep comprehension.      Each box contains six copies of 40 different reading cards      and a teacher's guide. Non-fiction text types covered:      Description; Explanation; Procedure; Report; Discussion. Fiction      genres covered: Humour; Poetry; Fantasy; Mystery; Greek Myths.
