The textbook, appropriate for educators and educators-to-be, gives instruction for the implementation of close reading for grades K-8. Each chapter is designed to suit a particular grade level and is divided into several parts: Student Text, Teacher Discussion Guide, and Response Exemplars. The student text and response exemplars become more complicated according to grade level. There is also a chapter discussing how to use the book as a whole, as well as a list of recommended texts for further study. The text also includes charts, graphs, and illustrations.
