The Signposts.... They Changed My Life!

I'm trying to organize my posts by topics, so I am going to tell you about something that changed the way I taught reading (so that I can then give this post the "reading" topic... lol).  A couple of years ago I was introduced to the Notice and Note Signposts.  Some of you, who know me well, are probably thinking, "Here she goes again with those signposts!"  But I just love them so much!

It all started a couple of years ago.  We were days away from the first day of school, and my IS said that she just had to share with us an awesome way to teach close reading.  As she was explaining the six signposts from the Notice and Note book, my teammates and I were hooked.  Thanks to Pinterest, YouTube, and of course the book, we were able to teach our students how to notice the signs authors leave in their books and think deeply about them. 

If this sounds like something you would like to know more about, check out the introduction video I share with my students every year when I introduce the signposts.

As usual, thanks for reading, and feel free to leave comments.
