Notice and Note: Close Reading with Signposts



If you have stumbled upon this blog post hoping to gain extensive information about "Notice and Note", close reading, and/or signposts within text, then you may want to press the back button on your screen.  However, if you are curious what this looks like in the very early stages in our fifth grade classroom, then read on.


We have been fortunate to have our district's literacy coach and reading specialist (Rhoda Wood) join our classroom for the past two weeks to teach us various signposts that author's use to help us as readers get more in tune with the character and the story, or with a non-fiction article.

We are working on signposts in text to prepare for our upcoming unit which largely focuses on the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret.  Today we closed our mini-lessons with letting our students explore signposts within books they are currently reading.  This will hopefully be a great reading skill that will transfer over to other
