Close Reading

Close reading is an analytical technique that deepens understanding of non-fiction texts through three stages: Before, While, and After reading. Before diving into a text, engage in pre-reading strategies such as scanning for structure and relating prior knowledge. During the reading, actively annotate with highlighting, notes, and reactions. Afterward, draw connections to other texts, personal experiences, and societal themes. Always consider the author's purpose, bias, and credibility. Explore various non-fiction types including compare/contrast and problem/solution to enhance comprehension.
