We have been very busy in our first full week of school We wrapped up our unit on reading signposts this week. We covered Words of the Wiser, Again and Again, and Memory moments. Below is an explanation of these.
Words of the Wiser - when a character gets life advice from another character, usually an older, wiser character. This can point to the theme in the book.
Again and Again - this is when an author repeats a word, phrase, or image over and over again. Readers need to notice that and ask, "Why is the author doing this?"
Memory Moment - these are flashbacks in a book when the character is remembering something that happened. Readers need to ask, "How is this important to the story?"
