Reading Mats & Boomarks

Reading mats are the perfect addition to your small group table! Simply laminate or slip inside a dry erase pocket sleeve to skip the printing hassle! These reading mats are great to help introduce and reinforce reading topics to students ranging from identifying story elements to making connections in a text. These mats have been made for the intention to use in the small group setting, on laminated paper using an expo marker, allowing for plenty of space to write with a marker. However, each mat topic (all are listed below) comes in a variety of options in case you would rather use these more as an assessment piece or for practice using paper/pencil. In addition, all mats have a variety of choices to help cover more grade-level capabilities.
