[quote=Anonymous]The new push in the CCSS is close reading of text which means that students basically dissect small portions of a text. It might be a page for older students or a paragraph or two for younger kids. I don't think it means they don't read the entire text but they sure will be spending a long time on one small section. Personally, I think this is ridiculous for students younger than 7th or 8th grade. I didn't dissect a text until high school and college. When kids are not reading on grade level and they are spending time doing this, something is wrong. If they want students to be "lifelong learners" who want to read on their own, this is not the way to go about it. Kids will think reading is a chore and will avoid it at all costs.[/quote]
