  How to Do a Close Reading

  When you close read, you observe facts and details about the text. You may focus on a particular passage, or on the text as a whole. Your aim may be to notice all striking features of the text, including rhetorical features, structural elements, cultural references; or, your aim may be to notice only selected features of the text—for instance, oppositions and correspondences, or particular historical references.
  
  Either way, making these observations constitutes the first step in the process of close reading.
  
  The second step is interpreting your observations. What we're basically talking about here is inductive reasoning: moving from the observation of particular facts and details to a conclusion, or interpretation, based on those observations.
  
  And, as with inductive reasoning, close reading requires careful gathering of data (your observations) and careful thinking about what these data add up to.

  The Art of Close Reading - Part 1, 2, and 3

  To read well requires one to develop one’s thinking about reading and, as a result, to learn how to engage in the process of what we call close reading. Students not only need to learn how to determine whether a text is worth reading, but also how to take ownership of a text’s important ideas (when it contains them).
  
  This requires the active use of intellectual skills. It requires command of the theory of close reading as well as guided practice based on that theory. In this and the next few articles we focus on some of the fundamentals of close reading.
  
  We explain what it means to think through a text using theory of close reading at the core of the reading process.
