Nifty Novels Using Notice & Note
In "Nifty Novels Using Notice and Note" your child will have the opportunity to read some great novels using
six research based and highly effective close reading strategies from the authors of "Notice and Note".
Participants will be introduced to the six "signposts" that alert readers to significant moments in a work of
literature and encourage students to read closely. We will learn first how to spot these signposts and then to
question them to enable your reader to explore the text, and find evidence to support their interpretations of
the text. If you want your child to fire up about reading and become an even better reader than this is the
perfect enrichment class for your energetic reader. Our journey together is sure to be memorable and fun as
we learn and grow together as readers!
