~learn to look for clues in text, in pictures and in their own knowledge which will help them to make sense of the text
~are encouraged to become good “book detectives”
~learn that some authors write very little text but leave clues for the reader to discover and interpret
~understand the expression “less means more” means “less (fewer) words on the page means more thinking for the reader”
What am I thinking about this story that isn’t actually written? What clues is the author leaving me that I need to solve?
