Hi there! I hope your week is off to a great start. We celebrated the 101st day of school today....so needless to say it feels like Friday and it's only TUESDAY!! But that's ok because we still have plenty of learning to do this week!!
Recently I finished my partner talk bookmarks and we are loving using them in the classroom during partner reading and book clubs!!
There are 3 different types of bookmarks. One type has a question for each story element and is organized by level. The 2nd type is organized by story element and has different leveled questions about that specific story element. (These are perfect if you have a student who struggles with comprehension in one or two specific elements!) The third style has basic sentence stems, which is perfect for those students who are still learning decoding strategies and are just beginning partner talk.
I first introduced the bookmarks during my reading group time. This way the students were given the bookmarks that were appropriate for their needs and level. We were able to practice together and get really good at using them. Now the students keep them in their book boxes and are able to flip through them when the time is right!
