One of our standards is that students write brief comments about a text. After demonstrating this repeatedly during read alouds – science lessons, chapter books, etc. – I put a stack of sticky notes out and tell the students that I want them to start using them during Read to Self and Listen to Reading. They can write a comment on something they learned or write a question they had during reading. I make sure that all students have done this several times by having them leave their books out after a round of Daily 5 and making a quick checklist. This has also helped them be more concise when they share after a round. Who would have known sticky notes would be so easy to implement and keep track of?
I hope the pictures show that this can be used in Read to Self and Listen to Reading, with fiction and non-fiction, and at all levels of reading.
