The Book Head Heart reading strategy is a great tool to use in the classroom not only for new novels but for any text your students encounter. During our book club meeting for our choice novel Speak, we talked about all aspect of the book not realizing that we hit several elements that are used in the BHH strategy. As adults we have learned how to have meaningful conversation when discussing new content, but that may not come as easy to students'. The BHH strategy is a great guide to assist in purposeful reading. Not only does it encourage students' to fully invest in what they are reading but also comprehend what the text is discussing.
I have recently introduced this tool in my STARR tutorials. I believe that this tool can be effective not only in novels but in non-fiction, fictions, poetry, and many more resources. My students will be introduced to a non-fiction article this Tuesday in STARR tutorials, and elements from this strategy will be used to help make connections to the text.
