Close, Critical, and Generative Reading
Elaine Weber, Macomb ISD; Victoria Les, St. Clair ISD, Sue Kelly, Michigan’s Mission Literacy

Learn about new rubrics and format for Close, Critical and Generative Reading.
Work from a new flipbook that provides the newest information about CCGR and how it reflects the Michigan Reading Standards. It provides the rubrics, guiding questions, and a new way to answer the question, “What does the text mean?”
Participants will experience a way to meet all the Michigan Reading Standards with Close, Critical and Generative Reading that also mirrors the M-Step Extended process that uses multiple texts, constructed responses and three modes of discourse.
