Close Reading Checklist

Whether reading fiction or nonfiction texts, help children get the most out of their reading with this close reading checklist. Readers are encouraged to read through their texts three times, identifying different elements along the way, and then respond to several questions related to the main idea, supporting evidence, and their own thoughts on the reading. Geared toward a fifth grade reading and writing curriculum, this worksheet supports students in their fiction and nonfiction comprehension while building critical thinking skills.
