Students learned about a great reading framework developed by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst called BHH. When reading, students should be aware of what's in the book, what's in their head (thinking), and what's in their heart (how they are feeling). There is an anchor chart for this in my resource folder. Every book we read should move us in some way and possibly cause change (life lesson/theme).
Beers and Probst also came up with 6 signposts readers should be aware of when they read. When we notice one of the sign posts, we should stop, and ask ourselves a specific question which requires deeper thinking about the text. These are concrete things students can notice and take note of in their notebooks in order to grow ideas about characters, conflicts, theme, and symbolism. Anchor charts for each of the sign posts are in my resource folder. When your child reads at home he/she should be filling out his/her log nightly. Additionally, you can ask your child, "What's in your book, in your head, or in your heart." to get him/her talking about what he/she has read.
