Close Reading

A chapter beside its summary, its key ideas and the words worth learning, with a short quiz after.

You see a chapter with its summary, the key ideas, the words worth learning, questions for discussion, practical exercises and a short quiz. Notes and results are kept for each reader along a learning path. A good book is dense; this opens it up without thinning it out. Under licence it carries your name, your domain and your colours, and keeps its records in a database of its own. It is being finished now, and can be shaped with you before it opens.

Close Reading is the house's name for it. Under licence it takes yours. The people who use it see your name at the top, your domain in the address, your colours on the page, and never the house's.

• Your nameThe app is introduced as yours, on every screen they open.
• Your domainIt answers at an address you hold, so the link you give is the link they keep.
• Your recordsWhat your people write in it is kept in a database of its own, as yours, not pooled with anyone else's.

It is being finished. It can be finished with you, so that the version you carry is shaped by the people it is for.

• Chapter summaries
• Key ideas and vocabulary
• Exercises and discussion questions
• Quizzes
• Notes and study guides

Teachers, tutors and reading programmes.

Read beside the field it serves, the school, the press and the author: A book that can be taught, under your imprint, in a room that reads like one.

It was made beside the house's library, where every book is meant to be taught and every course begins from a book.

The books it was made beside are kept in The Library, to be read before any conversation, so the voice the app speaks in is known first.

1. Read from The Library, so the voice behind Close Reading is known before anything is asked.
2. See Close Reading beside the apps chosen with it for your field, below.
3. Request a conversation. A few lines are enough: your name, your practice, and which app.
4. The fitting: Close Reading shown wearing your name and your colours.
5. The terms, in sentences: what you keep, what it costs, and how you would leave.
6. Live on your domain, with your people's records in a database of its own.

The terms are set in conversation with Ammanuel and written in sentences, never on this page.
