B.      3-2-1 Framework by Sanacore, 2012

·         Choice ·         Time  ·         Reading Responses ·         Making Connections

1.       Identify THREE important details and summarize them. 2.       Record TWO things that are of interest to the reader. 3.       Write ONE question about the text/story

Sanacore’s Framework is ideal for a one-on-one session or a small group session of three to five students. Nevertheless, a partner of the bibliotehrapist/storyteller is needed to anecdote the responses of the young readers and listeners.
