Various Ways to Use these Reading Response Choice Boards:

*Guided Reading Table: These are a great tool to use when wanting to teach certain concepts or ways to
respond in a small group setting. They can be used in incorporating writing or an oral discussion.
*Independent Reading Time: These boards will give several response question choices for students to use
at the end of their independent reading time. They can share with a partner or two, after!
*Turn & Talk: These can easily be incorporated into turn & talk time! You can choose a question (or they
can) and they will take turns responding orally.
*Partner Time: Students can respond to your read aloud by pairing with a buddy and working on a question
from the choice board together!
*Literature Circles: These will guide students with oral discussions/written responses to their group book!
*Morning Work: These are perfect, quiet activities to start off your morning while students are arriving to
school! They can respond from the previous day or from a fresh morning read!
*Homework: Students will stay engaged when selecting a question from a choice board to enhance their
nightly reading- they can keep track by coloring a checkmark box once completed.
*Early Finishers: Are your students completing classwork at varying speeds? Give them a choice board
while they wait for others to finish!
*Quick-Check Assessments: You can easily take a reading/writing grade based on their quality and depth of
writing and response!
