Manage episode 483831065 series 3411996
Want to help your students move beyond surface-level thinking during independent reading? In this episode, I’m sharing practical ways to build deeper comprehension through structured student reflection. From weekly check-ins and book talks to one-on-one conferences and end-of-unit reflections, you’ll get flexible strategies that fit into your existing routine. These simple but powerful tools help students track their growth, talk about books with confidence, and become more intentional readers. Whether you’re looking to level up your current reflection practices or start fresh, this episode will help you create stronger, more self-aware readers.
