8 years ago, I created this initial list of picture books and I figured it was about time to update it as I sit and watch Titanic with my kids. As a way to introduce and really focus on the strategy, I have long used picture books to showcase it. Inferring and noticing when people don’t seem like themselves or when they change can be practiced within literature and media. While being able to track characters and notice when they act out of character is a great reading strategy, it is an even bigger life skill. This book provided my students with the foundation for having deeper reading conversations and a common language as we developed our thoughts and our discussion skills. When I first started out teaching this strategy, I was inspired by the language of Notice and Note: Strategies for Close Reading by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst. One of the reading strategies we teach students is to notice character changes, whether it be in chapter books, movies, or even in life. It is a very easy way for me to be accessible to people around the world, you can join here. Posted from my Patreon community where I take requests for book lists to create, share resources, and offer up coaching for members.
