Free Scaffolded Reading & Research Notes: Help Students Independently Annotate!
One of my year-long goals is for my students to reach a place where they can independently take and make meaningful notes and annotations while they read. Personally, I prefer to write in my books, but in the classroom, that's not always possible. With this in mind, I put together these 5 Square Notes sheets (kind of like graphic organizers) that walk students through annotation and/or note taking. Each sheet is set up in the 1-2-3-2-1 style, which is a pattern that's easy for students to rememb

Teaching students how to discern the meanings of words in context can be tricky, but it's one of the most important skills! I've used the higher-level form of this introduction to context clues for years, but realized it's a bit high for middle-school or newer ESL/EFL students in high school, so I made a scaffolded version that replaces "loquacious" with "chatty." It also makes the guided practice easier. This updated bundle includes both the lower and higher levels, A4 and letter-size of ea

Thinkmarks can be used for taking notes before, during, or after reading. Version 1 is for students to summarize what they've read.

Learn more about reading resources
Not only is reading a core concept in the study of English language arts, but it’s also a cornerstone skill for proficiency in many other subjects (for instance, without strong reading skills, students won’t be able to solve math word problems or read through primary sources for social studies class).
If you’re a teacher or parent looking for printable and digital reading resources to help your student learn a reading concept, look no further! TPT has an extensive collection of resources, created by other teachers, that are designed to help with any need across grade levels.
Elementary students just learning to read can practice the basics with some simple, fun phonics practice activities or small-group reading centers focused around sight words. Students in middle and high school can read novels and complete hands-on, interactive assignments that build their comprehension and critical thinking skills. With plenty of TPT resources at your fingertips, you can sharpen your student's reading skills in no time.
Fun and engaging reading activities to try
Engaging reading activities can energize your students and foster a love of reading. Here are a few ideas for reading activities from our teacher-created resources that you can find on TPT and try in your classroom:
Interactive Phonics Activities
Use hands-on activities such as sorting, matching, or building words with manipulatives to help students recognize phonics patterns and learn word families.
Word Hunts
Encourage students to find specific words either in a text or around the classroom to help reinforce sight word recognition.
Reader's Theater
Bring short stories, books, poems, or plays you’re reading in class to life by assigning roles to students and having them act out scenes. This can help enhance fluency and comprehension.
Interactive Read-Alouds
Engage the class by pausing during read-alouds to discuss the story’s theme, reflect on a character’s motivations or actions, or to ask students questions.
Comparative Analysis
Explore different adaptations of the same story (book versus movie, classic version versus a modern retelling) to encourage analysis of interpretation and presentation. You can also pair texts that are similar in theme, like poems and songs.
By incorporating these (and other!) reading activities into your lesson plans, you can nurture a love for reading while enhancing comprehension, critical thinking, and communication skills.
