Join Beryl Irene Bailey, Ed.D., CCC/SLP, national literacy consultant and ASHA certified speech/language pathologist as she demonstrates for educators how to conduct a CLOSE read to simultaneously explore the nuanced themes of honor, harmony, humanity, humility, and health and the qualitative elements of complex text. Bailey's CLOSE Reading Process puts students in the driver seat for their comprehension. As students navigate through complex text, they assume command of their cognitive destination using the GPS of text structures and features. These signals and mind maps enable them to admire the beauty and subtleties of the details and ascribe meaning to the vocabulary signs that steer their understanding. It is through their complete examination of the author's perspective that puts them in total control of that CAR. Students arrival to understanding is made possible by the critical, analytical, and rhetorical analysis of the text terrain. Participants will learn to use Multicultural Children's literature to: • Comprehend the meanings of unknown, multiple-meaning words, and figurative language • Describe key ideas and details • Interpret book & text features • Compare and classify signal words to comprehend text • Summarize complex themes of sense of achievement, self-confidence, self-control, empathy, and interpersonal skills
