This resource includes a variety of posters and student materials. So far, I have only used one of the choice board menus to hold my students accountable with their independent reading. There are so many different ways this could be used, and next year I’m planning on implementing an independent reading notebook/log with some of these resources.

Some of the best resources come from $1.00 special sales. I try not to pass up an opportunity to get any of your resources because they are always so well done.

It is so important for students to not just read, but to also hold them accountable for what they are reading and seeing if they are understanding it! This allows me to show students should be reading and what to remember while they are doing it!

This resource helped me plan for Boo Clubs, Socratic Seminar and helping kids learn how to actually hold a conversation about something academic.

I modeled this with my class (each part of the mat) and circulated the first month when using it. After this, they became independent and had great conversations about their shared texts. Worth every penny!
