You are invited to a book party…

Get ready to be challenged, enlightened, and invigorated. Reading Nonfiction: Notice & Note Stances, Signposts, and Strategies is hitting the bookstores this week. Teachers who were enamored with Notice & Note: Strategies for Close Reading will fall in love again. (Or should I say “again and again.”)

I would love to say that I have been teaching close reading all along, but as I’ve reflected more deeply in the past year, I’ve realized that teaching “close reading” is not enough. I need to teach students how to become immersed in the text so that they not only ask questions about their reading but question what they are reading.

One of the best resources I have seen to help us teach non-fiction reading strategies is this new book from Kylene Beers and Robert Probst. The authors have taken what they know about reading and used it to introduce strategies called Signposts, a reading routine that provides students with a better understanding of “what to look for” as they are reading.

Signposts provide a signal to students to slow down their reading and think. This leads to a much deeper understanding of the text and assists students in creating evidence-based responses as they continue to read. (Link to keep reading)
