If the text if nonfiction, such as social studies text, then I like bringing in historical fiction or literary nonfiction which follows the story arc but with nonfictional text.<br /><br />If the text is long, then perhaps only close read a small excerpt from it. Close reading is suppose to take place at frustration level. With this said, tiering the reading is important for independent reading. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing these resources and for mentioning my graphics in your post.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Tracy WatanabeTracy Watanabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720820771623655582noreply@blogger.com
