Make Meaningful Connections through Close Reading

We, here at RocketLit, believe close reading is an integral asset to literacy. Close Reading engages readers and gives them the confidence to continue their learning journey. It's even part of the Common Core CCR Anchor Standards for Reading.

"The careful interpretation of a text wherein readers pay close attention to the way ideas unfold as they read. Often, this involves annotating texts for the sake of slowing ourselves down and recording our thinking so that we can do cool stuff with what you read."

We absolutely agree, Dave. That's why we've decided to make our Annotations Feature available for every single student who uses RocketLit. Students can use five different annotation styles to highlight text, take notes that they can refer to later, and even have teachers review and give feedback on what they annotate.
