Here are reading logs for all the signposts in the fantastic book, Notice and Note by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst. As you teach each signpost, use the corresponding reading log, and when you've taught them all use the basic log. I've had amazing success with my class to teach them how to look closely and pay attention to what the author is trying to show you by using the signposts in this book. My reading instruction has come alive and kids are really noticing and paying close attention to

Have you seen Plickers.com and its app yet? They are awesome and FREE! They are high-tech low-tech pinch cards, a clicker system that only needs one device. Your iPad or Android device will take a picture of your students' answers and hold the data online. If you pay for the laminated cards, they come ready to go for you and on the back is the Plickers logo. Great, but not so helpful for little kids. I have designed the back of the small Plickers cards to have both student numbers (in the

This is a formative assessment I made based on Gretchen Owocki's fantastic book, The RTI Daily Planning Book (Heinemann, 2010). In order to determine student thinking during reading, students will fill out a Stop and Jot card. Using the tracking sheets I created, sort the cards and determine the next steps for instruction based on actual data, not just a guess as to student thinking! Owocki included descriptions of proficient use of the strategies for you to compare your students' work, and s

You know I love the book Notice and Note by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst. It is thoughtful, touching, and really challenges our thinking as we jump into close reading and the common core. Most of all, it's helpful!! I created these 11x17 posters to be used as anchor charts in the classroom flexibly. If you have the ability to print in color, good for you! But if you don't, there are also slides that have spots for you to print and color in (what I did in my classroom) the signposts and the

Are you loving Notice and Note by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst? Maybe you've taught the lessons using my posters? Now as kids are reading, remind them of the signposts with these bookmarks! There is a specific bookmark for each signpost, as well as a cumulative bookmark with the questions to remind them as they read. The back side has space for kids to write the page numbers and their responses. Laminate and use with a Vis-a-vis marker to save paper! Print them two-sided and set the print

I love the book Notice and Note by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst. First of all, I read it during Winter Break and even before I got halfway I knew this book was going to change my teaching. There are so many things I love about it -- but I set out to make my signposts cute and quickly! If you have a projector, these signposts will work great for you! They start with an overview (available free to check out the quality of the rest of it), and then each signpost is along the road with the phr

Have you read the amazing Notice and Note book by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst (Heinemann, 2013) that came out recently? If not, get it and read it! It's fast, it's fun, and it's life-changing! I love how the authors are incredibly introspective, yet come to us with solid ideas to implement. This product is my introduction I use in class to show students the path they are going on in reading. If you like it, please try my signposts as well. I have ones to print in color, black and white,

Want to make magnetic fraction bars with your cricut? Buy some magnetic sheets, upload these files and "print then cut"! These are color-coded to the Hand2Mind fraction bar sets so they match if you already have some of the manipulatives. I found them to work in Cricut Design Studio when they are shrunk to 9.245" in length, then combined and distributed evenly to a width of 6.76". They print on the magnetic paper, then cut right on the black lines for you to tear them apart. ** You will nee

This is a fun activity when students finish a book. They fill in the details (some are funny, some are serious) and create a reader review on Amazon! For my class, I require them to include a book level so other students know what the level is. They also include a blurb (story summary without giving away the ending), recommended other books, and reader reviews, and much more. Students create both positive and negative reviews to encourage multiple points of view as they read. This is a high
