Building Literacy Foundations
Students will study 6 “signposts” that alert readers to significant moments in a work of literature and encourage you to read closely. Learning first to spot these signposts and then to question them enables readers to explore the text, any text, finding evidence to support their interpretations. In short, these close reading strategies will help you to notice and note.
Notes on Signposts HERE. |

Academic Words
Word Generation Packets HERE. Word Generation is a series of dilemmas designed to promote students’ academic language and argumentation skills. Students read, discuss, debate, and write about each weekly topic, using the newly taught academic vocabulary words. |
