Notice and Note: Strategies for Close Reading
Writers, speakers, and educators, Kylene Beers and Robert (Bob) Probst have worked together for over a decade helping teachers improve the literacy lives of students. Kylene is the author of When Kids Can't Read/What Teachers Can Do and Bob is the author of Response and Analysis. Together they are coauthors of Notice & Note: Strategies for Close Reading and co-editors, with Linda Rief, of Adolescent Literacy: Turning Promise into Practice.
This session will delve into the strategies found in Notice and Note. Teachers will learn about the signposts of literary texts, and they will discover how to engage students in deeper reading using these signposts as habits of mind.
