Description: Using a during reading strategy called New/Knew/Q while reading expository or non-fiction text, students while reading use Post-it® Notes (small ones) to designate within the text they are reading what information they knew already, what information is new and what questions popped into their heads while reading. Students write new on the Post-it Note and place the small Post-it Notes within the text to mark etc. Students write questions they have on Post-it Notes as readers for discussion and clarification to make meaning. Teachers can model during small group reading session then students can use as a life long reading strategy to keep the reading process active and engaging with Post-it Notes.
