Notice and Note: Strategies for Close Reading by Kylene BeersMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
For any ELA teachers out there, I highly encourage you to read this book. It was recommended to me, by a good friend, and when I left the library to return to teaching reading, I knew I had to read it.
The book is setup around 6 signposts that we can teach children so that they can learn to notice things in what they are reading. The authors read and reread the most common books taught in classrooms and discovered that these 6 signposts almost always occurred, and some always occurred. By teaching children what to look for, they can notice changes that occur in characters. They can identify theme and conflict.
My book is all marked up and I have spent much time looking for more. I am excited to use these signposts as I teach the curriculum this next year. The book contains model lessons to introduce the signposts as well as many other forms and charts to help you be successful.
