Boost Close Reading is a differentiated reading solution laser focused on helping students in Grades 6–8 acquire the close reading skills that empower them to read and understand complex text.
To capture students’ imagination, Boost Close Reading takes the form of an interactive graphic novel called The Last Readers. This story is set in a dystopian future world run by Machines, where people are told what to read and what to think. But dissent is afoot. Recruited for the rebellion, students are trained in the powerful ways authors convey meaning and affect their audience.
