Respond to Reading and Become a Better Reader (PDF & Digital Journal)

Description

These respond to reading cards will help improve student comprehension and response skills.  They are aligned to the Texas TEKS for grades 2-5.  I have included 13 different thinking strategies to practice. The following thinking strategies are included:

• Determine Author’s Perspective
• Type of Mind-Work (visualizing or making a list)
• Central (Main) Idea
• Learn New Information
• Check Comprehension
• Ask Questions
• Make Connections
• Figure out Meaning of New Words
• Make a Prediction
• Summarize
• Pronounce New Words
• Get to Know the Character
• Read as a Story & as Informational

Each page has 6 cards with the same thinking strategy.  I have also included 3 pages of mixed strategies for individual use. Just print enough copies on cardstock and cut apart.  Check out my blog post to find out how I implemented it in my classroom.  I hope you enjoy using these cards as much as I have!

I have just added a Google Slide Digital Journal that has all of these cards.  Each journal page has a different thinking strategy in the templates.  Kids just choose the strategy they want to write about and add that template.
