Kylene Beers & Robert E. Probst – Notice and Note: Strategies for Close Reading

In the act of lifting a barbell, rigor in reading is not an attribute of a text but rather of a reader’s behavior-engaged, observant, responsive, questioning, analytical. The close reading strategies in Notice and Note will help you cultivate those critical reading habits that will make your students more attentive, thoughtful, and independent readers.

In Notice and Note Kylene Beers and Bob Probst introduce 6 signs that alert readers to significant moments in a work of literature and encourage students to read closely. Readers can explore the text and find evidence to support their interpretations by learning to spot and question signposts. Students will notice and note the close reading strategies.

Kylene and Bob are in this guide.

What does it mean to be literate in the 21st century? 6 signposts help readers understand and respond to character development, conflict, point of view, and theme.

Get it immediately. Strategies for Close Reading was written by Kylene Beers and Robert E. Probst. 6 text dependent anchor questions help readers take note and read more closely. 6 Notice and Note model lessons, including text selections and teaching tools, help you introduce each signpost to your students.

Notice and Note will help create attentive readers who look closely at a text, interpret it correctly, and reflect on what it means in their lives. We want students to be independent readers, but we also want them to know our democracy demands.

Students can practice finding the signposts in the new Notice and Note Literature Log. Save with packs.
