Today I am adding my Independent Reading Bookmark to my collection of free resources for you to print and use.
This is a great tool for students to use to practice their "during reading" skills that we know improve comprehension - and they have one place to put their thoughts that stays with the book...so they can use it anywhere they are reading. The bookmark includes space for:
- Information about the book and author
- Specific information pertaining to fiction and nonfiction reading. The first focuses on genre and the elements of fiction. The next section provides space for information about a nonfiction text.
- Once folded, the inside of the bookmark provides space for questions and predictions the student may have while reading and a space to answer or validate their thoughts with details from the reading. There is also space for new vocabulary.
Click on the image above to get a closer look. You will also find that there is a page that gives direction for how to copy and fold the bookmark as well. I hope this is a useful resources for you and your students.
This is such a cute idea! And even better, it's free! :) Pinning for later. Thanks so much for stopping by my little blog and following along. Delighted to be following you now too!
