Moving students to critical independent readers can be challenging. A reader must be able to read closely and realize important moments in a text. Kylene Beers and Robert Probst provide strategies for close reading and guiding questions to support students as they learn to stop and take notice as they read. In their book, Notice and Note, Beers and Probst introduce common signposts found in most works of literature that help readers to analyze significant moments and lead them to deeper comprehension.
The book Notice and Note Strategies for Close Reading by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst is recommended but not necessary for the training.
