Independent Reading Reflections
I have always struggled with knowing how to grade independent reading without it sucking the joy of reading with it, but this lesson gives freedom as well as structure. Keep the stress away from you and the kids by having them choose their own books and keep notes as they read. This keeps them on track while keeping reading enjoyable. There is also a clear method for getting kids talking to each other about their books. This is the way to go about choice reading. Do more with less!
