Book Club Activities – Response to Reading Activities for Any Text

Description

Love to use book clubs or literature circles in your class but struggle with the planning? Let me help! This resource has everything you need to get students reading and talking about books–and has print and digital access!

I know planning for book clubs or literature circles takes a ton of time. This resource lets you plan with ease. The different slides focus on different reading comprehension strategies and skills–but they can be used with ANY book. (I can’t lie–this is perfect to use if you do a unit on social issues book clubs like I do!)

That way you can do the same plans for each group–because the books themselves will let you differentiate! You simply make a copy for each group! Whether you use it as a print resource or to send digitally or through Easel–this keeps it simple.

So whether you want to have students track key events, study characters, work on predictions–or a number of other reading skills, you can use these slides in any combination or order you wish! They are perfect for helping students learn to think more deeply and do higher-quality reading responses.
