Reading Accountability Made Easy with These Student Tasks [Ep. 12]
Manage episode 353995926 series 3411996
Choice reading empowers students—but how do we make sure they’re actually reading and thinking deeply about their books? In this final episode of our four-part reading mini-series, I’m sharing four meaningful activities that hold students accountable without taking away the joy of reading.
These strategies—one-pagers, task cards, letters of advice, and reading response journals—encourage reflection, creativity, and critical thinking. They’re flexible, easy to implement, and work with any novel or nonfiction title your students choose.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your independent reading routines or just need a few fresh ideas to check for understanding, these activities will help you build in structure while keeping reading fun.
